Bramble Hub is pleased to announce that we have successfully bid on a new Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, Digital Outcomes 6 (DOS6). The new framework has three lots, of which we have successfully bid on Lot 1 - “Digital Outcomes”.

The new framework, which opened for supplier applications in January 2022, forms part of a framework overhaul by CCS. The expiring framework, Digital Outcomes and Specialists 5, is being revised and split across two new frameworks: DOS6 and Digital Specialists and Programmes (DSP), each of which gets new lots in addition to the original lots in DOS5. Note that DOS5 is still open until 19th April 2023, so will run concurrently with DOS6 until then.

The changes made to the frameworks are as follows.

DOS5 (expiring framework)

Lot 1: Digital Outcomes* – moves into DOS6
Lot 2: Digital Specialists* – moves into the new DSP framework
Lot 3: User Research Studios – moves into DOS6
Lot 4: User Research Participants – moves into DOS6

DOS6 (new framework)

Lot 1: Digital Outcomes* – moved forward from DOS5
Lot 2: User Research Studios (was Lot 3, DOS5)
Lot 3: User Research Participants (was Lot 4, DOS5)

*Denotes lots on which Bramble Hub has/had successfully bid.

For a project to qualify for DOS6, Lot 1, Crown Commercial Service states that it must have “clearly defined deliverables and outcomes” and that it may be “serviced by a team of 1 or many”. The lot covers a number of digital services, including security, software development, support and testing.
