You may be interested in Local Gov Drupal. Unfortunately they've defined themselves around a specific tool, rather than a design library, but maybe that was what it took to get them to come together. Seven councils are using the solution, and around 30 councils are involved in the initiative, but there is plenty of scope for the 300+ others to leverage the work and join the initiative.

Not much!

/me former Drupal developer. Drupal makes super-heavyweight pages, and is a real pain to learn. There is no backwards compatibility between major releases; to upgrade, you have to rewrite your site.

I burned 8 years working on Drupal sites. I made a living, but I ended up hating Drupal with a passion.

Yikes. Drupal is complex enough to be a government in its own right. Stay far far far far FAR away from it and any company or agency that demands its use. It's an overengineered nightmare of opaque idiosyncrasies.
