Capita has been selected as a supplier on the new Software Applications Solutions framework agreement (RM713) from Buying Solutions. The framework agreement speeds up the procurement process for public sector organisations by offering access to a shortlist of pre-approved suppliers. This new framework agreement will replace the software lots of the Specialist Solutions framework agreement which expired in October 2009.
Ian Gates, divisional director of Capita Software Services, said: “We are really pleased to be on this framework agreement. It is not only a faster and more cost-effective way for existing and potential customers to procure solutions, it is also official recognition of our credentials as a quality, trustworthy technical and commercial partner.”
The Software Applications Solutions framework agreement is designed to offer UK public sector customers the ability to contract with best of breed suppliers that can provide end to end solutions to address specific Information & Communication Technology (ICT) business objectives and targets.
Capita’s inclusion in this framework agreement means that public sector organisations can access Capita’s portfolio of software products and services without having to go through the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) procurement process.
As well as an accelerated procurement process, organisations that use the new framework agreement will also benefit from pricing advantages when purchasing software solutions from Capita. For more information on the framework agreement, please visit www.buyingsolutions.gov.uk/
