The Government Digital Service is seeking feedback from the tech sector as it looks to overhaul its digital services framework.
The framework has drawn some criticism after just £16.4m was spent through the scheme following its launch in November 2013, significantly less than its target of £40m in the first nine months.
But prior to the election the government pledged to scrap the old framework and create a new scheme to replace it and is now looking to tap into the sectors knowledge.
Warren Smith, head of strategy at Government Digital Service, said: “We want to gain a deeper understanding of buyer and supplier user needs.
“Some of the other things we’re going to be talking about include improving the way suppliers apply to be on the framework, evaluating quality at both framework stage and call-off stage, providing a level of help to buyers so they can become self-service users, and applying user-centred design principles to the framework agreement and call-off contract.”
Firms have been asked to complete a survey and attend research sessions to have their views canvassed on the new scheme.
