GOV.UK<\/a> Notify currently has 1,322 services with over half a billion total notifications sent to date (see here<\/a>). The benefits of GOV.UK<\/a> Notify are primarily driven by HMG only having to incur a cost once instead of multiple times across the 1,322 services. The benefits fall into two broad categories "One-off avoided costs" & "Avoided ongoing costs". These benefits are driven by the number of services adopted across HMG and the transactions of each of those services. Both are forecasted forward based on a combination of statistical techniques using historical data and engagement insight with OGDs.<\/p> <\/p>"}
