The Crown Commercial Service has issued the biggest tender of the week: a £650m framework establishing a technology innovation marketplace. According to the notice, it “will provide central government and wider public sector departments the opportunity to procure an extensive range of innovative technology products and services”. Because it’s a dynamic purchasing system, suppliers are able to apply to be listed at any point during its two-year lifetime.
