An SME delivery partner
With more than 25 years' experience delivering digital, data and technology services for public sector organisations, Storm ID is a well-established SME.
The UK Government is committed to increasing the opportunities available to SMEs through public procurement. Central government departments have targets for direct spend with SMEs, while the Procurement Act places greater emphasis on reducing barriers to SME participation and opening public contracts to a broader range of suppliers.
The Government Commercial Agency is also actively working to improve SME access to public sector opportunities and make it easier for smaller suppliers to compete for and deliver government contracts.
For buyers, working with an SME such as Storm ID provides access to specialist expertise, experienced delivery teams and the agility to respond quickly to complex requirements, backed by the assurance, governance and delivery standards expected when working across government and the wider public sector.
Working with larger delivery partners
For larger and more complex programmes, we actively welcome opportunities to work in consortia, partnerships and supply chains, including alongside Tier 1 suppliers, major systems integrators and other specialist organisations.
Storm ID can operate as a prime contractor, delivery partner or specialist subcontractor, bringing complementary capability in areas including:
- digital service design and development
- data engineering, platforms and analytics
- artificial intelligence and automation
- cloud and application modernisation
- Microsoft technologies
- user-centred design and research
- digital transformation and specialist technical delivery
This allows larger delivery partners to bring Storm ID's specialist expertise and public sector experience into broader programmes, while helping contracting authorities access the capabilities of SMEs through both direct and indirect procurement.
If you're a public sector organisation, prime contractor or delivery partner looking for specialist digital, data or AI capability, we'd be pleased to talk.
