Telent has been awarded places on eight ‘lots’ by Crown Commercial Services on their framework for public sector organisations to purchase network services from trusted suppliers.
The latest Crown Commercial Services (CCS) network services purchasing agreement, Network Services 3 (RM6116), gives buyers a simplified procurement route to access to a range of products and services for their connectivity and network needs to develop fully integrated communication solutions.
Telent has been included on lots for the procurement of network solutions, communication services, connectivity to cloud-based data and applications, unified communications, radio networking, emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities, plus paging and alerting.
The CCS is the trading fund of the UK Government’s Cabinet Office and is responsible for managing the procurement of goods and services, increasing savings for the taxpayer, and leading on procurement policy for the government.
“We are delighted to have been awarded multiple Lots of Network Services 3, we look forward to continuing to service and support the UK’s public sector and the vital role it provides. This framework provides the vehicle to support the transformation of the UK’s critical digital infrastructure, reflecting Telent’s experience in the design, build, support and management of network services projects.”
