Your recommendation
ICT networking and storage solutions
We think you should use the Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) framework.
What it offers
Designed for the education sector this framework offers:
- On-premise solutions - IT and network infrastructure that are entirely delivered on-premise and includes but not limited to network and storage hardware, back-up, archiving and data protection systems
- Cloud and hybrid cloud solutions - IT infrastructure solutions that are entirely cloud based or a hybrid cloud storage solution, comprising both on-premise and cloud components
- Consultancy services - specifically for ICT consultancy and design services where a solution is yet to be defined, which may fit into either of the solutions above.
Benefits
- save time using the framework rather than completing a full tender process
- easy and compliant route if you are looking to adopt a cloud solution
- ability to purchase robust network security solutions
All frameworks also offer:
- compliance with the relevant procurement regulations
- suppliers pre-checked by the approved framework provider
- pre-agreed terms and conditions
