Saving public sector customers time and money

Sector Operations (left) and Janet Symes,
Connect’s Deputy CEO (right) meet Viv Roberts from Buying
Solutions.
Connect beat off stiff competition at the end of 2009 to be
awarded a place on the Software Applications Solutions framework
agreement by Buying Solutions, the national procurement partner for
UK public services. The agreement is for the provision of Web Design and
Content Management Services.
Only ten suppliers nationally were selected by Buying Solutions
for the delivery of Web Design and Content Management, so this is
quite an achievement for us and we’re delighted.
By using the framework agreement, as a public sector customer,
you can procure the services you require quickly, efficiently and
with excellent value for money. As Buying Solutions has completed a
rigorous OJEU selection process to award framework agreements, you
can save the cost of this process and enjoy a range of benefits
including:
- An EU compliant service
- Competitive pricing
- Ease of ordering
- Free Buying Solutions procurement advice
We are able to offer a wide range of services under Web Design
and Content Management that can be procured through the framework
agreement. We can help you create a new website or update your
existing one. We can identify the best solution for you, undertake
solution and interface design, software development and
integration, implementation and customisation of content management
systems as well as data aggregation and migration.
We offer services that support you at any stage of the process
from consultancy, through design and implementation stages, testing
and user training, as well as fully managed web hosting services,
maintenance and ongoing support. Under the framework agreement, our
public sector customers can purchase a fully end-to-end solution or
any part of it from us, providing the flexibility that enables you
to access exactly the combination of services you require.
This capability is backed by high quality project management
(with PRINCE2 trained project managers).
We’ve had great success in supplying similar services under
previous Buying Solutions’ ICT framework agreements – Our framework
agreement customers have included Government departments, NDPBs,
the NHS, local authorities and other public bodies. If you are
interested in procuring through the Buying Solutions Software
Applications Solutions framework agreement, please email frameworks@connectinternetsolutions.com
or visit the
Buying Solutions’ website (opens new window).
