Cantium is a managed ICT partner, providing bespoke IT services and solutions to the UK public sector and its supply chain. Our aim is to support the UK public sector in regaining control of its IT operations by redefining the outsourcing model. We do this by engaging with organisations early in the procurement process, better defining their requirements, and providing expert insights into solutions and strategies to achieve their wider goals. Cantium is also a Local Authority Trading Company (LATCo), wholly owned by Kent County Council (KCC) via Commercial Services Group (CSG). Part of our heritage and our ethos is that we believe in generating profit for a purpose and giving back to services that support our communities. We recognise that we are in a privileged position with an intimate insight into the challenges that the sector faces. Therefore, we work directly with the public sector and its supply chain to design and deliver better citizen-facing services. Furthermore, all the profits that Cantium generates are fed back into Kent County Council to invest in front-line services and community programmes. Therefore, working with Cantium means that public funds continue to support front-line public services. Cantium’s commercial success also means that we can invest in our people, systems, solutions, and innovation, which continues to drive efficiencies and give back to the public purse with clients across the UK.
