As the framework is pre-approved, it saves customers time, money and effort by providing access to trusted, compliant and sustainable procurement solutions, designed to deliver measurable savings, value for money and peace of mind.

• Data centre provision

• Managed data hosting - hosting end user applications and data

• Network services

• Systems integration

• Maintenance contracts

• Remote access services
