Approved on G-Cloud and Digital Outcomes.
Talk Think Do is an approved Crown Commercial Service supplier. Public sector organisations can procure our services through the Digital Marketplace, without the need for a separate tender or procurement exercise.
We are listed on G-Cloud for cloud software and support services, and on the Digital Outcomes and Specialists framework for bespoke digital delivery. Both frameworks are designed to make it easier and faster for the public sector to buy the technology services it needs.
Two frameworks, two ways to buy.
G-Cloud
G-Cloud is the Crown Commercial Service framework for cloud-based products and services. It covers cloud hosting, cloud software, and cloud support. Suppliers list their services at fixed or capped prices on the Digital Marketplace. Buyers search the catalogue and award contracts directly, without running a separate tender.
G-Cloud is the right route when you know broadly what type of service you need and want to compare listed options quickly. The framework removes most of the procurement overhead and is widely used across central and local government, NHS, education, and other public bodies.

Digital Outcomes and Specialists
Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS) is the Crown Commercial Service framework for bespoke digital projects. Rather than buying from a catalogue, buyers publish a brief describing the outcome or specialist capability they need. Suppliers respond and the buyer selects the best fit. DOS is the right route for custom software projects, discovery work, and ongoing digital delivery where the exact scope needs to be defined.
DOS brings competition and transparency to custom procurement without the cost and delay of a full OJEU tender. It is widely used for agile development programmes, technical assessments, and specialist engineering roles across central government and the wider public sector.

What the frameworks mean for public sector buyers.
No separate tender required
Both G-Cloud and DOS are pre-competed frameworks. Buying from a listed supplier satisfies public procurement obligations. You do not need to run your own OJEU or open market competition, which reduces procurement timescales from months to weeks.
Transparent, auditable pricing
G-Cloud services are listed with fixed or capped day rates on the Digital Marketplace. Every transaction is recorded and auditable. The framework is designed to withstand scrutiny from internal audit, NAO, and other oversight bodies.
Pre-vetted suppliers
Suppliers on CCS frameworks have passed due diligence checks on financial standing, technical capability, and compliance with government standards. Our ISO 27001 certification, Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, and GDPR compliance are all part of the framework record.
Quick to start
Once you have identified the service you need, the process from approval to contract can be measured in days rather than months. For organisations with urgent delivery timescales or tight budget cycles, this can make a material difference.
Appropriate for any public body
Central government departments, arm's length bodies, NHS trusts, local authorities, universities, and other public sector organisations can all buy from CCS frameworks. If your organisation spends public money, you can almost certainly buy from G-Cloud or DOS.
Direct relationship with the supplier
The framework sets the commercial and legal envelope. The working relationship, statement of work, and day-to-day delivery are agreed directly between buyer and supplier. You are not buying through a reseller or intermediary.
What we bring to public sector engagements.
We have delivered and supported software for central government departments, national infrastructure operators, and arm's length bodies. Our public sector work spans cloud-native application development, legacy modernisation, managed application support, and technical assurance on existing systems.
We are a specialist application development and support partner, not a generalist systems integrator. We focus on engineering the right solution and typically work alongside other suppliers who handle licensing, infrastructure provisioning, or programme management. Within multi-supplier environments, we operate as a trusted delivery team with clearly defined accountability for the application layer.
We bring the same commercial disciplines to public sector work as we do to private sector: agreed scope, measurable milestones, and transparent reporting. The CCS framework contract provides the legal and commercial envelope; everything else is agreed directly with the buyer.
