PUBLIC SECTOR IT specialist Kingsfield has won a place on Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 13 framework, a digital marketplace that will see Kingsfield become a go-to provider for the public sector nationally.
The company, based in Northampton, has been awarded places on Lot 2: Cloud Software, and Lot 3: Cloud Support, providing applications that are accessed over the internet and hosted in the cloud, as well as supporting customers in the set up and maintenance of their cloud software or hosting services.
G-Cloud 13 offers public sector customers the ability to purchase cloud-based computing services at rates cheaper than in-house, saving time and the need to go through lengthy tender processes.
CCS supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2021/22, it helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.8 billion.
Kingsfield managing director Brian Boys said: “We are incredibly pleased to have been awarded a place on the latest G-Cloud network. To be able to provide these cloud-based IT solutions to public sector organisations, which do such vital public services up and down the country, is a huge privilege, and it signifies another milestone in Kingsfield’s journey.”
The framework is available to all public sector organisations, such as the NHS, local and wider government, charities, and education providers. Customers log on to the digital marketplace and filter by needs and budget to find the most suitable solution from a list of thousands of accredited providers.
Kingsfield has won several new framework acreditations and saw its revenue grow by more than 230 per cent last year. Mr Boys said: “To secure two lots on G-Cloud 13 is a testament to the hard work of our team, during what was a difficult period for the wider industry over the last 12 months.’
The framework with G-Cloud runs until November.
