Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the provision of a GCFP Communications Platform in 2025 was facilitated by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), acting on behalf of the Cabinet Office. This contract falls under the industry category of software supply services and is part of a wider digital initiative aimed at fostering collaboration among counter fraud professionals within the Government. The CCS, located in Liverpool, England, managed this selective procurement process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to PLACECUBE LIMITED on 9th July 2025, and the contract is set to run from 11th July 2025 to 9th July 2027, with an estimated value of £36,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in digital communications and collaboration platforms, particularly those with experience in supplying software services to the public sector. While PLACECUBE LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise, has been awarded the contract, similar companies still stand to benefit by forming partnerships or engaging in related opportunities that may arise from the ongoing digital initiatives by the Government. Businesses that can demonstrate the capability to enhance digital collaboration and have a track record of working within framework agreements or similar procurement methods would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.
