> The massive GOV.UK website is an excellent example of using open source to provide public services and information. An example service: the official government coronovirus dashboard - https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ Scroll down to the footer and there is a link to all the frontend source code on GitHub.
This is how it should work. Public money, public code and information. The French government is also pretty good at this, a myriad of information being available as Open Data at all sorts of levels, from municipality to the whole central government and public companies - there's data on the number of days the public railway company has striked since 1947[0], or the number and location of electric vehicle charging points in a bunch of municipalities[1]), and the source code of a lot of things is made available (e.g. the health pass/contact tracing app, TousAntiCovid[3].

Information, not just source code, also benefits from being made open. For example, back in 2016, a UK government blog on accessibility shared a series of posters on designing for accessibility [1]. Many readers of the blog wanted to translate the posters. They were posted on GitHub and have been translated into Japanese, Estonian, Russian and many more languages: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/posters/tree/master/accessib...
Finally, also equally important is open data: https://data.gov.uk/
