Softcat secures a fourth UK Government public sector framework agreement

IT infrastructure provider Softcat has secured a bid for all 11 Lots within the new Technology Services Framework (RM1058) allowing it to provide a wide range of specialist IT services, including network management, content security, desktop support and disaster recovery, for its growing public sector customer base over the next four years.

Softcat’s tally of successful lots now totals 21 across four major Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Frameworks. This follows successful bids for three other recently awarded contracts – Technology Products (RM1054), Corporate Software Solutions (RM1042) and ICT Services for Education (RM1050) obtained during the last 12 months.

UK public sector bodies such as central government departments, the NHS and local authorities will use the Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement, implemented by CCS to buy stand-alone IT services at competitive rates. The frameworks also allow customers to take advantage of cost-effective procurement efficiencies associated with pre-tendered frameworks.

“This latest success represents several months of intense work from Softcat’s bid team having written responses for eleven separate lots covering a wide range of technology services,” commented Mark Brazington, partner alliance manager for Softcat.

He continued: “This recent award continues our 100% success rate with CCS frameworks and perfectly complements the products and services we are currently supplying via the Corporate Software Solutions and Technology Products Frameworks. The addition of the entire Technology Services portfolio cements the strong relationship between Softcat and CCS and means that customers can feel confident that our products are relevant, competitively priced and available via the most appropriate Government Procurement Contracts.”
