Procuring through G-Cloud or DOS?
We're getting procurement-ready.
Applying to G-Cloud 14 (expected Q4 2026), DOS-aware, sub-threshold direct-award capable. Service definitions, pricing card, social value and accessibility statement in progress.
Five places it hides.
Public-sector buying is a process — and most suppliers fail it for boring reasons. Here's what trips procurement up.
Service definitions written like marketing copy don't match the G-Cloud SDD format — evaluators can't score them.
Pricing isn't in the pricing-card format and isn't comparable across suppliers — internal procurement defers the award.
Social value plans are generic boilerplate — they don't reference PPN 06/20 themes or local outcomes the buyer cares about.
Cyber Essentials, accessibility statement and modern slavery statement are 'on the to-do list' but not yet published.
Sub-threshold direct-award is technically available but no one inside the council knows how to draft the rationale.
What we automate
G-Cloud + DOS onboarding
Supplier registration, lot positioning, service definition document, pricing card, social value plan, evidence pack. We're applying to G-Cloud 14 (expected Q4 2026) and preparing a DOS 6 entry.
Tender response writing
AI bid manager + senior writer. Full method statement, pricing schedule, evidence pack, submission-checklist sign-off. £1k–£3k per bid.
Accessibility + compliance prep
WCAG 2.2 AA audit, accessibility statement, Cyber Essentials evidence pack, modern slavery + carbon reduction statements — everything procurement asks for.
Numbers from our
own ops.
Real public-sector positioning, not theoretical
We're applying to G-Cloud 14 (expected Q4 2026) and preparing to bid into local authority frameworks ourselves — not just advising on them.
Service definitions on /public-sector. Pricing card on /pricing.
WCAG 2.2 AA + accessibility statement
Our own site is built WCAG 2.2 AA by default — same standard we apply to every public-sector build.
Accessibility statement on /accessibility. Public Sector Bodies Regulations 2018 alignment.
Social value, declared honestly
PPN 06/20 social value plan with each engagement: apprentice hours, local supplier spend, carbon reduction.
We're a UK studio. Most of our spend stays local — we declare the real numbers, not boilerplate.
Fixed prices.
4-week pilot offer.
2–4 weeks. Supplier registration, SDD, pricing card, social value plan, evidence pack.
AI bid manager + senior writer. Full method statement, pricing schedule, submission sign-off.
Scoped to fit standard council delegated-authority limits. We help draft the rationale.
Sober list,
not a sales sheet.
It won't win a bid your service can't deliver on. The platform supports the bid; the team delivers the contract.
It won't get you on a framework that's closed. We work to the next iteration's timeline, not the current one.
It won't sidestep procurement rules. We help you fit them — including legitimate sub-threshold direct-award routes.
It won't replace your bid manager if you have one. It makes them faster and more accurate, not redundant.
Verifiable, not aspirational.
Honest answers.
Where we're genuinely uncertain we say so — and we ship a working spike in 2 weeks for you to test before you commit.
Are you actually on G-Cloud?+
Not yet — we're applying to G-Cloud 14, with listing expected Q4 2026. Service definitions, pricing card and case studies are on /public-sector. A DOS 6 entry is in preparation; we'll list as soon as the framework opens. For work now, we use legitimate sub-threshold direct-award routes.
Do you do social value properly?+
Yes — PPN 06/20 compliant social value plan with every public-sector engagement. We're a UK studio; most of our spend stays local. We declare actual apprentice hours and supplier locations, not aspirational boilerplate.
What about Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001?+
Cyber Essentials is in progress (audit booked). ISO 27001 is on our roadmap; for buyers that require it today, we build on an ISO-certified hosting layer (UK-region) and document the boundary.
Can you support direct award under threshold?+
Yes — we help draft the rationale, scope and value-for-money case to fit standard council delegated-authority limits (typically under £30k inc VAT). Most of our council pilots start here.
What about DTAC for NHS work?+
We support DTAC submission for clinical-facing tools: clinical safety statement template, data protection compliance, technical security baseline, accessibility, usability. See /for-clinics.
Fit procurement,
don't fight it.
15-minute call. We share our G-Cloud application status, pricing card and the direct-award route we use for sub-threshold pilots. No deck.
