What is the framework for?

The Local Authority Software Applications (LASA) framework has been introduced by Crown Commercial Service (CCS) to assist public sector organisations deliver services to the citizen and has been structured along operational business areas. Although primarily aimed at the Local Authority sector, it can be used by all UK public sector organisations, including central government, health, education, devolved administrations, emergency services, defence and not-for-profit organisations.

There is a catalogue associated with this framework, which enables public sector buyers to ‘click and buy’ the business software and related services featured on it, significantly reducing their procurement cost and timescales. Unlike G-Cloud, the LASA catalogue is only visible to public sector buyers with CCS-supplied ID and password.
