The move at the moment is for central orgs to specify standards and protocols so it doesn't matter who implements them and the delegated authorities can buy from whoever. That goes some way to preventing both one-big-vendor setups and unstandardised fragmentation, and it was blindingly obvious to anyone who's ever implemented more than a bash script that it was the correct approach even 20 years ago. Only it's taken a generation of civil servants ageing out at the top end to make it happen.
