Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Provision of a GCFP Platform" was managed by the Government Commercial Agency, a division of the Crown Commercial Service on behalf of the Cabinet Office. This contract, classified under "Software supply services," aims to provide a centralised Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) membership management platform for the Government Counter Fraud Profession (GCFP). The procurement adhered to a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded prior to the contract period starting on 29th May 2026 and ending on 28th May 2028, with the award finalised on 27th May 2026. The total value of the contract is £91,235, servicing organisations across various public sectors in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in SaaS solutions, particularly those with a focus on membership and content management. Although the award has been given to SPINDOGS LTD, businesses in the software supply domain would benefit from observing this procurement process to identify future opportunities in similar government contracts. Companies capable of delivering secure, scalable, and user-friendly SaaS platforms that meet the needs of cross-government networks are ideally positioned for such bids, especially those with experience in handling large, diverse user bases across public sector organisations. This procurement highlights the growing demand for digital solutions that streamline operations, improve data insights, and enhance user experience within government frameworks.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a GCFP Platform

Notice Description

The GCFP currently relies on manual and fragmented tools (spreadsheets, inboxes, email lists and Mailchimp) to manage a large and growing membership base. This creates operational risk, inefficiency, poor user experience and limited insight. A centralised SaaS membership management and content management platform (CMS) is required to improve efficiency, data quality, user experience and reporting, while reducing administrative burden and risk. Purpose is to procure a third-party Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) membership management platform to support the Government Counter Fraud Profession (GCFP) in managing membership, communications, CPD tracking, and reporting in a secure, scalable and user-friendly way. The Supplier shall provide a secure, off-the-shelf SaaS membership management platform suitable for a cross-government professional network. The service must be scalable, cost-effective, accessible and capable of being implemented within the current financial year. Membership of the GCFP extends across the wider public sector, not just central government and so must be accessible in Local Government, Police, NHS and other public bodies.
