What keeps Public Sector IT leaders awake
CCS framework procurement
Most public buyers must procure via CCS frameworks (G-Cloud 14, Technology Services 4, Cyber Security Services 4, RM6098, RM6263). Suppliers without framework access can't bid.
NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework
NCSC CAF + IT Health Check are the standard for CNI and central government departments. Local authorities adopt PSN-CoCo equivalents.
Spending controls + value-for-money tests
Cabinet Office controls require business cases for ICT spend over thresholds. Decisions must be evidenced against alternatives, value, and supplier risk.
OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE handling
OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE data require appropriate Logical Access Controls, the right cloud (UK sovereign), and the right SyOps documentation.
