Tungsten Network Accredited on G-Cloud 5

Tungsten Corporation plc (LSE:TUNG) is delighted to announce that Tungsten Network, the global e-Invoicing network built on OB10, has been accredited as a supplier of the UK Government Crown Commercial Service, G-Cloud 5 Framework.

About the Crown Commercial Service Framework

Managed by the Crown Commercial Service, this is a pan government collaborative framework agreement for use by UK public-sector bodies, including central government departments and their arm’s length bodies and agencies, non-departmental public bodies, NHS bodies and local authorities.

Strengthening Public Sector Relationships

Tungsten Network sees this development as a major step in cementing its relations with the public sector and strengthening its operations. Accreditation will help to accelerate business development as public-sector bodies benefit from pre-negotiated terms and fixed prices. It also eliminates the need for the public sector to tender competitively for the services covered by the framework, which in the UK can cost over £45,000 per process, the highest in Europe.

CEO Perspective on G-Cloud 5 Participation

Edmund Truell, Group CEO, Tungsten Corporation said, “We are delighted to be part of the G-Cloud 5 framework. This is another key development for Tungsten Network as we expand our customer base, and bring the value of electronic invoicing to governments and their citizens around the world.”

Key Takeaways

  • Tungsten Network has been accredited onto the UK Government’s G‑Cloud 5 framework, enabling direct procurement by public-sector bodies.
  • Accreditation allows UK public-sector organisations to access e‑invoicing and spend analytics via pre‑negotiated terms, saving on tender costs.
  • This move strengthens Tungsten’s ties with the UK public sector and supports their business growth in government markets.
