About Tailwind Digital
Tailwind Digital provides Local Gov IMS, a commercially supported open-source income management system for councils. The system handles payments across card, direct debit and GOV.UK Pay, offers live transaction data and built-in reporting, and is described as PCI DSS compliant and WCAG 2.2 AA accessible. The company also offers digital transformation consultancy.
Its customers are local government councils in the United Kingdom, including councils facing local government reorganisation. The company is the managed service provider for Local Gov IMS and provides implementation, support and ongoing management of the system. Because the software is open source, the website states that councils pay no licence fees for the intellectual property.
Tailwind Digital is registered in the United Kingdom and based in Nottingham, and was founded in 2021. Local Gov IMS originated in 2017 as a Local Digital Fund project funded by MHCLG and run through Barnsley Council. One council reported switching to the system in 12 weeks.
