Technology solutions for government

Federal, state, or local government, schools or hospitals, police, justice or public infrastructure providers, all public sector organisations face tight budgets and growing demand for secure digital work environments. They need advice when choosing the right software, right-sizing licence agreements, and managing cloud migration and optimisation. Our teams help public entities deliver stringent compliance and governance aligned with the highest industry standards.

SoftwareOne Public Sector Services break contracting gridlock, helping public sector customers assess technology, select the right software and cloud services for their needs, and purchase through relevant frameworks. We can design, build, deploy and manage your cloud solution.

Crown Commercial Service

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is appointed by government to save money for the public sector and the taxpayer, and to improve the quality of commercial and procurement activity. In order to do this, CCS implements and manages a range of procurement frameworks. There are several IT-related frameworks, on which trusted suppliers are awarded a place. Public sector organisations can then use these frameworks to run their procurement simply and efficiently, only giving access to those suppliers who can offer the best value and quality.
