This framework was aimed at providing diverse ICT solutions, with contracts divided into four lots: On Premise Solutions, Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Solutions, Multi-Purpose Solutions, and Outsourced ICT Services. It falls under the Computer equipment and supplies industry category. Although the tender stage has been completed, the award was finalised on 19th February 2026, with a contract period starting from 24th February 2026 to 3rd March 2026. The procurement followed an open procedure, allowing for widespread participation from eligible bodies in various regions, including England, the British Overseas Territories, and beyond. This framework offered an attractive opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in ICT services, to expand their offerings to educational institutions and local authorities. Companies that provide comprehensive solutions ranging from on-premise to cloud services were well-positioned to benefit from this agreement, which explicitly supported participation by small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, the involvement of Stone Technologies Ltd as the supplier indicates a significant growth avenue for similar innovative technology providers looking to align with public sector needs. ## Notice The CPC is seeking to establish a multi-provider framework agreement on behalf of CPC members for ICT Network, Storage and Service Solutions.
