NEC Software Solutions is the British software arm of the Japanese group NEC, built largely from the 2018 acquisition of Northgate Public Services and its predecessors. It supplies the systems British public services run on: police records and intelligence platforms, local authority revenues and benefits, health screening and patient administration, fire and rescue command systems and public safety communications. Headquartered in Hemel Hempstead, it employs several thousand people across the United Kingdom and India, and much of its work requires security clearance because of the police and government data involved.
