Why do we love the DOS Framework?

• It’s relatively straight forward to get on – although we had contact from someone that did fail to get on!
• The contract terms are in plain English and are not onerous. Wonderful for an SME!
• Opportunities are posted in the open! That’s right…. IN. THE. OPEN! Not behind closed doors or in dusty Whitehall backrooms….
• Feedback is being acted upon. There is a real sense of participation, not all the suggested improvements to the framework are immediate but they do seem to be being enacted. The focus on user needs is very evident here for us.
