Spark framework RM6094
The Sourcing Playbook, Government Guidance on service delivery, including outsourcing, insourcing, mixed economy sourcing and contracting, was produced by the Cabinet Office and published in May 2021. The Sourcing playbook emphasises that the delivery of public services is a collaborative endeavour involving colleagues from commercial, finance, project delivery, policy and other professions. It proposes to capture best practices from across the Government within 11 key policies that all central departments are expected to follow.
According to the Sourcing playbook, ‘the Spark framework (RM6094) provides a route to market for new technology products including technologies such as AI and virtual reality. Spark will help enable growth in the UK technology sector, making it easier for SMEs to access government customers and improve the ease and speed at which the government can access proven new technology.’
