The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) works to ensure maximum value is extracted from every commercial relationship and improve the quality of service delivery. The CCS goal is to become the “go-to” place for expert commercial and procurement services.

Over the past decade, Edge Testing has played a pivotal role in helping local and national government agencies, councils and public sector organisations to reduce costs, whilst managing risk, implementing process efficiencies and positively improving the quality of services. The software testing firm has built an excellent reputation with an enviable client list across the public sector, as well as financial services, telecommunications and media, utilities and retail and has a track record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget.

A sample of Edge Testing’s public sector clients include Student Loans Company, a national healthcare provider, Big Lottery Fund, FSCS, Scottish Prison Service and South Ayrshire Council.

Brian Ferrie, CEO and Founder of Edge Testing said: “Securing a place on this framework is testimony to our focus and strength within the public sector as a leading software testing provider. We are among a small group of suppliers selected for the framework and this award clearly reflects our extensive and continued investment in and committment to the public sector.

“We believe that fully engaging with our public sector clients and focusing on building a partnership relationship in those early stages ensures complete trust is built, enabling us understand their business culture and values and apply this knowledge to everything that we do. We can then focus on not only successfully delivering the required services but also being instrumental to the success and growth of their business.”

This is a one year framework with the opportunity to extend for two further years.

Edge Testing is a leading expert in providing world-class software testing solutions. The award winning company is typically engaged when organisations are implementing a new system or making significant changes to an existing system, to ensure systems are fast, secure, available and work as expected in an increasingly complex and distributed digital age.
