Check out some of the other frameworks we work with. Please note that all this info, dates and timelines are provisional and subject to change as and when CCS provides updates and ITTs published.

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.

Advice Cloud were extremely helpful. They always pick up the phone and are extremely efficient at answering queries.

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!

Drones DPS

Drones? Yes, you read it right! CCS are currently investigating the use of Drones within the UK, including potential use cases for drones within UK Public Sector. The Technology Products & Services team are working with the Institute of engineers (InstE) to potentially create a framework for the supply of Drones within the UK.

This is likely to take the format of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and be part of Smart Cities initiative within CCS.

Innovation DPS

The CCS Technology Products and Services team are also investigating the potential for an Innovation framework. This framework would take the form of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and be open to all suitably qualified suppliers. The Innovation DPS should follow straight after the Drones DPS and is also part of Smart Cities initiative within CCS. We will update with more information as and when we have it.

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!
