Frameworks: best in class procurement

Frameworks have been established by the UK Government and other organisations, such as Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), as procurement channels through which any government, public sector or third sector organisation can buy goods and services.


Through several frameworks, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) performs a vital role in helping protect frontline services by delivering significant and sustainable cost savings through its commercial activities and aggregated procurement arrangements.

As a CCS supplier, Leonardo is one of many companies that collectively offer end-users nearly 20,000 services via the Digital Marketplace platform. The frameworks through which Leonardo is qualified include:

  • G-Cloud 10
  • Technical Services 2
  • Management Consultancy Framework
  • Digital Outcomes & Specialists 3

Leonardo is also qualified through several Dstl and other commercial frameworks. These are designed to help suppliers bid for defence contracts, and for UK Ministry of Defence buyers to procure everything from military technology and infrastructure to education services and facilities management expertise. These include:

  • Research Cloud (R-Cloud) (Dstl)
  • Electronic Warfare & Cyber Framework (EW&C) (Dstl)
  • Scottish Procurement Digital Services DPS
  • National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
