The UK government has named dozens of new suppliers to its £2 billion big data and analytics framework agreement.
The pan-government agreement which will be the recommended vehicle for all big data and analytics across the UK’s public sector organisations.
“This framework will offer a central route to market for all big data & analytics requirements,” said the Crown Commercial Service (CCS). “By offering a range of buying options and pricing mechanisms, it will enable competitive and agile procurements across a specialist pool of suppliers.”
The notice says the procurement is required in part to support the National Data Strategy. Launched in 2020 by then Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden, the National Data Strategy is designed to “put data at the heart of the country’s recovery” from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Register reports that the framework is divided into two lots. The first looks for suppliers to design, build, and run professional services; the second is for commercial off-the-shelf software.
