This follows a similar turnaround with the G-Cloud framework earlier this month. The DOS framework launched initially in 2016 to replace the Digital Services framework, which came in for criticism from suppliers.

DOS 3 will open for bids in July and is expected to go live in September.

Niall Quinn, director at CCS, said: “We have listened to feedback from suppliers and customers and decided to go ahead with re-letting Digital Outcomes and Specialists in line with our original timescales.

“This will give customers access to the very latest services, and ensures that current suppliers and new bidders, including smaller businesses, have the chance to work with the public sector.”

CCS said that £280 million had been spent through DOS since its launch,  with the current version of the framework having 2,000 partners – 94 percent of which were SMEs.
