    Brief

    The Cabinet Office intends to extend its call-off contract with Shared Services Connected Limited (SSCL) under the ISSC2 Framework for up to 18 months. This extension will continue the provision of critical back-office operations, including human resources, finance and accounts, payroll, and procurement services. The extension is necessary to maintain operational continuity while transitioning to replacement service providers under the Matrix programme. The direct award is justified under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 due to technical constraints and lack of viable competition; changing suppliers would cause technical incompatibility, service disruption, and significant cost duplication. This is a transparency notice of intention to award.
