Manchester-based technology training firm Northcoders Group plc said its consultancy brand, Counter, has been accepted onto the G-Cloud 14 framework, the UK government’s public sector digital marketplace.  

The move means Counter will be able to provide UK government departments, local councils, charities, and other public bodies with consultancy services, broadening its reach and simplifying how public sector organisations access its services. 

Amul Batra, MD of Counter, said: “This development opens up new opportunities for us to deliver high-impact consultancy services to public sector organisations across the UK. By being part of this framework, we can support public bodies in accessing and implementing the innovative solutions they need to drive progress and resilience in today’s digital landscape.”

Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, said: “As a publicly listed company, we are confident that our training and technology solutions are delivered with optimum quality, security and rigour and therefore make us ideally placed to support government bodies in their digital transformation projects.”

“As outlined by the new Labour government, productivity must improve for the UK economy to grow, and the role that technology will play in this has been outlined repeatedly as part of this journey. We look forward to building on the early success of Counter® and are confident that it can be an exciting new revenue stream for the Group.”
