Investment

BGF has made a significant investment into Fivium, a UK-based public sector software provider, to back its next phase of expansion. 

The funding will enable Fivium to further scale its SaaS platform and digital solutions offering, strengthening its go-to-market and product development capabilities, as well as its ability to support new areas of the public sector. 

Founded in London over 20 years ago, Fivium supports public sector organisations in managing complex administrative and regulatory processes, improving the service it provides to citizens. 

Its flagship software platform, eCase, is a flexible case management solution used across a wide range of applications, covering Data Protection, Freedom of Information and citizen engagement. 

The investment will enable Fivium to scale its technology across the UK public sector and explore complementary new market opportunities, as demand increases for digital tools that enhance efficiency, transparency and service delivery. 

Matt Fletcher, CEO and co-founder of Fivium, said: “This investment marks the next exciting chapter for Fivium. Our software platform and digital solutions enable public bodies to deliver effective, transparent and well-governed services, and BGF’s backing allows us to accelerate that mission. 

“It will further our ongoing investment in AI, helping us to recruit, grow and develop our talented staff and enhance our commitment to supporting the public sector.”

BGF’s investment reflects confidence in Fivium’s long-term potential and its role in supporting the effective functioning of public services. As a long-term minority investor, BGF will work closely with the management team to drive product development, expand into sectors such as healthcare and policing, and strengthen Fivium’s position as a leading UK GovTech provider. 

Alongside growth capital, BGF has supported the appointment of Simon Russell as non-executive chair, through its talent network, to add extensive software industry experience and value creation expertise.

Chris Morgan, investor at BGF, said: “Fivium has built a fantastic reputation for delivering critical software to the public sector. Its technology plays an important role in helping organisations operate efficiently and transparently, whilst improving their service to citizens. 

“We’re delighted to support the team as they scale the platform and broaden its impact.”
