Hold positions on G-Cloud and the current digital-specialists frameworks, and treat the Digital Marketplace listings as living bid documents. Open tenders score Cyber Essentials Plus/ISO 27001 as gates, then differentiate on named delivery teams, agile delivery evidence (GDS service-standard experience for central government) and exit/knowledge-transfer commitments — public buyers are wary of lock-in and reward bids that make leaving easy.
