Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the authority intends to put in place a pan government collaborative agreement for the provision of Back Office Software to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK public sector bodies, including local authorities, health, police, fire and rescue, education and devolved administrations.

The Back Office Software commercial agreement will provide a route to market for organisations wishing to purchase software subions and licence support for back office systems (ERP, HCM, procurement and supply chain, information management and reporting) direct from the software vendor.

It is intended that this commercial agreement will be the recommended vehicle for all Back Office Software required by UK Central Government Departments.
