Software, Infrastructure & Platforms (RM6069)

This is a brand new framework and is getting a lot of attention! CCS’s Software Category team are looking to provide a framework for the supply of Infrastructure related software. There is a large market for Datacentre related software provided by the likes of EMC, Citrix, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat and numerous smaller open source providers.

Software, Infrastructure & Platforms (RM6069) will specifically address that market including on-premise and cloud options (including PaaS!). This framework comes from the same team as the Data & Application Solutions (RM3821) framework. OJEU and Dates TBC.

Enterprise, Security and Mobility (RM6070)

Information is scarce at this time about this framework, we will update as soon as it becomes available. Watch this space!

Government Mobile

CCS is seeking to establish an agreement for a mobile voice and data service which encompasses value for money, enhanced network security and service arrangements. In January CCS will be hosting customer engagement workshops to discuss the scope of the framework. We will keep you posted as this exciting framework develops!

It may seem impossible to keep track of all these frameworks at the same time but fear not as we have come up with our own public sector procurement pipeline. The pipeline offers a complete overview of tendering dates and is constantly updated by our team of experts!
