Network Services Framework winners unveiled

Azzurri, Daisy, Didata, Alternative Networks and SCC among the 61 suppliers to taste success on new government framework, CRN understands

CRN can reveal the identity of the 61 suppliers that made the cut for the Network Services Framework, which the government has clarified will not go live until mid-August.

News that the heavily delayed framework had finally been awarded was confirmed last Friday by Innopsis, an industry association that worked with Crown Commercial Service (CCS) with a view to making the framework SME friendly.

A Cabinet Office representative has clarified to CRN that, contrary to our original report, the framework will not go live to government buyers for another few weeks.

As Innopsis reported, 61 suppliers made the cut for the framework, which is divided into 10 Lots and replaces the incumbent PSN Services and PSN Connectivity frameworks.

According to a document showing the full list of winners leaked to CRN by a source today, small and mid-sized resellers and MSPs such as Pinacl, Block Solutions and Intrinsic were among those to make the grade, alongside household names such as BT and Vodafone.

Daisy and Azzurri were among the big VAR winners.

Ninety suppliers submitted tenders for the framework, which was first advertised almost a year ago, 86 made it through to award-stage evaluation and 61 made the final cut.

The full list of winners, as we understand it, can be found below.
