Making public-sector procurement faster, simpler, and more transparent
The G-Cloud framework was created to make it easier and more cost-effective for public sector organisations to procure trusted cloud-based solutions. It’s one of the UK Government’s key initiatives to open procurement to SMEs by removing complex, time-consuming processes such as OJEU, RFI, and ITT.
As a G-Cloud approved supplier, HSI HandsHQ enables public-sector bodies, from local authorities and housing associations to education and healthcare providers, to easily procure compliant, secure software for managing health, safety, and workforce competence.
Eliminate lengthy tender processes.
Reduce administrative and legal overheads.
Pricing, terms, and service details published openly.
The framework is regulated and regularly refreshed.
Promoted as the preferred route to purchase cloud-based services.
Simplified procurement for faster adoption.
HandsHQ provides market-leading software for health and safety compliance, trusted by over 2,500 organisations, including key public sector institutions such as:
- NHS, The University of Oxford, Nottingham City Council and many more.
Our digital solutions are already helping these organisations save time, improve safety, and stay audit-ready, all while meeting strict public sector compliance standards.
All services in the G-Cloud framework are visible in the online searchable Digital Marketplace where suppliers showcase their services, allowing customers to evaluate their capabilities. HSI HandsHQ and several other providers of health and safety software are listed in the Software as a Service catalogue.
Since suppliers list services, pricing and terms and conditions in the Marketplace, the process is straightforward:
- Identify requirements and find suppliers who meet those requirements
- Evaluate those shortlisted suppliers by contacting them directly to confirm that they can meet your needs (whole life cost, fit with requirements, timescales, after sales service management, T&Cs, financial checks, etc.)
- Identify the most economically advantageous tender
- Make award via call-off contract.
