Summary of the contracting process

Crown Commercial Service has established the Technology Services 4 framework for public sector technology and digital services. It covers technology and digital consultancy; transition, project and programme management and service integration and management; end-user support, computing and device management; IT operations, service, network, security and asset management; application development and support; data warehouse, database and data management; and major technology transformation programmes. The services category includes IT consulting, software development, internet and support, installation, maintenance, computing equipment and related research and consultancy. Delivery can take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, UK overseas territories and associated jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, Bermuda and the Falkland Islands. The framework is intended for Crown Commercial Service and participating public sector buyers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure, with contracts signed on 12 December 2025. Nine lots were awarded on 1 December 2025: Lot 1 consultancy, £960m; Lot 2 transition and SIAM, £1.6bn; Lot 3 end-user services, £1.6bn; Lot 3a lower-value end-user services, £480m; Lot 4 infrastructure management, £2.08bn; Lot 4a lower-value infrastructure management, £480m; Lot 5 application and data management, £3.2bn; Lot 5a lower-value application and data management, £1.6bn; and Lot 6 major transformation programmes, £4bn. Each contract runs from 12 December 2025 to 11 June 2028, with an option to extend to 11 December 2028. Multiple suppliers were appointed to every lot. Evaluation was 90% service quality and 10% social value and accessibility, except Lots 5 and 5a, where application and data management quality each carried 45%.

This framework demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Crown Commercial Service and participating public sector buyers for suppliers able to deliver complex technology services at national and international public-sector scale. It is relevant to consultancies, systems integrators, managed service providers, cloud and infrastructure specialists, service-transition teams, application and data companies, cyber-security providers, digital delivery firms and transformation partners. Smaller and voluntary, community and social enterprise suppliers were expressly considered suitable for all lots, including the lower-value and complexity routes. Credible competitors would need strong legal and financial capacity, demonstrable technical capability, reliable delivery teams and experience in the relevant service area. The competitive field was large, with hundreds of initial bids across the lots, while two suppliers reached the final stage for each lot, indicating the importance of focused evidence and high-quality service propositions.
