Crown Commercial Service has taken the decision to extend existing framework agreements that were due for reprocurement for a period of up to nine months (9monsth) for Gcloud 11. This is to enable CCS resources to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. CCS intends to deliver replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact.
