Tender software for IT and digital services
IT and digital suppliers win public sector work in two ways: through open tenders, and through government frameworks such as G-Cloud and Digital Outcomes and Specialists. To find the open tenders, search by the CPV codes for IT services and software, and watch for frameworks reopening so you can apply.
RevnIQ brings every UK and Ireland public sector tender that matches your services into one list, ranks each one by fit with a written reason, and drafts the response from your own past bids.

What the public sector buys
Public bodies buy software licences and cloud services, bespoke digital projects, technical specialists, support and managed services, and IT hardware. Councils, NHS trusts, universities and central government departments all buy regularly, from small one-off projects to multi-year managed services.
The main frameworks
A framework is a pre-approved list of suppliers that public bodies can buy from without running a full tender each time. Much central government IT is bought this way, so getting onto the right framework matters.
- •G-Cloud, for cloud hosting, cloud software and cloud support. It's open to all public sector organisations and charities. G-Cloud 14 runs to 28 October 2026 and is being replaced by G-Cloud 15.
- •Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7, for agile digital projects, delivery partners, individual digital specialists and user research. It started on 30 January 2026.
Both are run by the Government Commercial Agency, which replaced Crown Commercial Service on 1 April 2026. When a framework reopens, the opportunity to apply is published as a tender notice, so it should appear in your tender search.
