Bramble Hub was founded in 2001 and has gone on to gain inclusion on over 20 active UK public sector procurement frameworks.

Originally the company bid for government contracts as a prime contractor, and subcontracted project work to other companies. Over a period of time, their business model evolved: they stopped delivering solutions altogether, and exclusively became a thin-prime supplier, working with a growing network of delivery partners, connnecting private sector suppliers and public sector organisations.
