One accountable partner. Specialist engineering on demand.

Yes, and we state it plainly. Our two permanent employees provide organisational continuity and oversight. They are supported by established self-employed leadership and a wider specialist engineering network. That is what keeps us small enough to know your business, and flexible enough to bring in the right expertise for each project.

No. Independent professionals and contractors are identified openly and their status is disclosed, not disguised. Names in the wider network are not automatic assignments: project-specific hours, deputies and named commitments are confirmed with you before an engagement begins.

You will have accessible senior people throughout. A named delivery lead, engineering owner and escalation route are agreed for your assignment, and we communicate proactively rather than waiting to be asked. Being known, heard and personally cared for is the point of how we are set up.

A large supplier can offer scale, often at the cost of attention. We offer both: the personal commitment of a founder-led UK team, with a specialist network behind it for breadth and capacity. You get senior judgement and niche skills without paying for a large fixed workforce, and we aim to feel like an extension of your own team.

Assemblysoft Ltd (company no. 07098083), a single contracting party. We remain responsible for project governance, delivery quality and every specialist we manage on your behalf, under one agreed governance, security and quality framework.

Much like a construction firm coordinating specialist trades, we own the delivery relationship while assembling the right capability for the work. We lead and govern, select and mobilise the right people for scope, technology, timing and location, then deliver and transfer with code reviews, testing, release control, documentation and handover.

No. New product development is central to what we do. We build bespoke SaaS, internal platforms, client portals, mobile apps and integrations from concept through to a supported release, as well as modernising, taking over, supporting and independently auditing existing systems.

We select the team to fit the project. Before mobilisation we agree named roles, available capacity, proposed substitutes, UK or international participation, access permissions, milestones and acceptance criteria. Every specialist works within Assemblysoft's delivery framework.

Fixed scope or milestone, time and materials, a managed support retainer, or an agreed capacity block. We will talk through which suits the risk and shape of your project.

A UK-only delivery model can be scoped, subject to the required specialists, availability and confirmed commitments.

Yes, selectively, and only with your agreement on location, system access, confidentiality and the relevant data safeguards. No customer inherits a new geography, third-party resource or support commitment without an explicit agreement.

Continuity is engineered in rather than assumed. Substitutes, handovers, runbooks and resource continuity are agreed in proportion to the criticality of the work, supported by documentation, shared systems and replacement-resource onboarding.

IP and licensing are agreed in the contract. We favour transferable, documented, client-controlled assets: repositories, documentation, credentials and environments remain under agreed client ownership or control.

Individual accounts, least-privilege access, confidentiality obligations and agreed data locations apply to everyone, whatever their employment or contracting status. Changes are peer-reviewed, tested and released through build gates with risk-based approvals.

No. Those are the staff of our established partner organisations, not Assemblysoft's employee headcount. Their involvement is explicitly agreed and controlled for each engagement, and neither pool is automatically dedicated to your project. Named availability, pricing, location, security, scope and service levels are agreed before deployment.

Yes. Both are available as tailored, separately scoped managed-support services, with agreed SLAs, a contracted rota, resilience cover and tested escalation. Neither extended service is automatically included in a development engagement. Business-hours care is also available.

Yes. We replace an outgoing supplier through discovery, structured knowledge transfer, build and release verification and a managed transition. Our ScafTek 2.0 engagement is an example: we assessed and took over a Classic ASP / IIS and SQL Server estate, then led its move to a modern Blazor and Azure platform.

We distinguish carefully between what is held, what is verified and what is being pursued. Cyber Essentials Plus has been achieved at organisation level, with verification evidence available. Our Microsoft Partner Center organisation is verified, and we are working towards the Solutions Partner designation for Cloud and AI Platforms. ISO 27001 is at the certification-planning stage, and we are ICO registered.

Client names, detailed case studies and references are provided where the applicable client has authorised disclosure. We also separate production delivery from proof-of-concept and advisory work, so you can judge relevance without the evidence being overstated.

Yes. Current insurance evidence, company registration, engagement terms, confidentiality and IP provisions are available during appropriate due diligence. Our Trust and Compliance Centre answers the most common supplier questions up front.
