Crown Commerical Service Supplier

The Digital Outcomes and Specialist (DOS 6) framework facilitates the procurement of digital services to accelerate the success of applying technology solutions to solve UK public sector challenges. In addition, G-Cloud 13 allows public sector buyers to access best-in-breed cloud solutions from leading suppliers via a self-serve digital marketplace.

These frameworks have been created by the CCS to deliver greater competition in the tech industry, allow small to medium suppliers greater access to UK public sector contracts and ultimately ensure better outcomes and value for money for UK citizens.

Using DOS 6, Newcastle Technology Solutions will be supporting even more customers to solve their most critical challenges by applying its services including software modernisation, product development, and live support. And by utilising the G-Cloud framework, UK public sector buyers will be able to secure market-leading services from NTS including discoveries & alpha, cloud migration & modernisation, development services and live support.

“We are thrilled to gain inclusion on both the DOS 6 and G-Cloud 13 frameworks for UK public sector digital services procurement. This award allows Newcastle Technology Solutions to support even more customers as they migrate and modernise to the cloud, underpinned by our bespoke software craftsmanship approach.”

Anthony Britton, Co-Founder Newcastle Technology Solutions

As the UK public sector has ever greater pressure to deliver value, save taxpayer money and raise standards, NTS is an ideal partner to tackle these challenges.
