Opening additional opportunities for public sector technology engagements
Counter® - the consultancy brand from Northcoders - has been accepted onto the G-Cloud 14 framework - the UK government’s public sector digital marketplace. This significant achievement broadens Counter’s® reach, simplifying how public sector organisations access Counter's® industry-leading expertise and solutions.
With this framework inclusion, Counter® will be able to provide UK government departments, local councils, charities, and other public bodies with secure and scalable consultancy services. The G-Cloud 14 framework, which is one of the broadest offering access across multiple governmental departments, streamlines procurement, helping these organisations efficiently access Counter’s® technology services and gain the critical support needed to address the significant digital skills gap in public services and meet transformation aspirations over the coming years.
Counter's® acceptance aligns with Northcoders’ mission to drive innovation and operational efficiency across the public sector, in particular adhering to the rigorous security, compliance, and data protection standards required by G-Cloud 14. This milestone underscores Counter's® commitment to delivering robust, adaptable solutions that support essential public sector projects.
Amul Batra, MD of Counter, commented: "We are delighted that Counter® has been accepted onto G-Cloud 14. This development opens up new opportunities for us to deliver high-impact consultancy services to public sector organisations across the UK. By being part of this framework, we can support public bodies in accessing and implementing the innovative solutions they need to drive progress and resilience in today's digital landscape."
Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, said: “As a publicly listed company, we are confident that our training and technology solutions are delivered with optimum quality, security and rigour and therefore make us ideally placed to support government bodies in their digital transformation projects. As outlined by the new Labour government, productivity must improve for the UK economy to grow, and the role that technology will play in this has been outlined repeatedly as part of this journey. We look forward to building on the early success of Counter® and are confident that it can be an exciting new revenue stream for the Group.”
