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.
