Cabinet Office: Goaco

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 2 December 2025UIN 93749

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the October 2025 variation to his Department's contract with Goaco Group Ltd is within the scope and value thresholds of the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 6 framework; and whether the modification has been treated as a new contract.

Answered by Chris Ward

The Digital Outcomes and Specialists 6 (DOS 6) Crown Commercial Service framework permits the use of non-UK-based suppliers, subject to the buyer's prior consent being obtained.

The modification, following publication of the variation in October 2025, does not constituent a new contract.
