Benefits of using the IT related Accessories and Parts Framework Agreement:
- cost savings: competitive prices with transparency showing suppliers margin and costs
- simplified terms and conditions: pre-negotiated Terms and Conditions and order form which have been simplified for the nature of goods supplied under this framework agreement
- reliable supply chain: established, reliable supply chains with pre-approved suppliers, ensuring timely delivery and reducing the risk of supply shortages for critical IT components
- flexibility: allowing IT departments to order accessories and parts as needed, without the requirement to commit to large volumes upfront, which is particularly useful given the rapidly changing nature of IT needs
- quick access to products: with an established framework and supply market, IT departments can quickly obtain the accessories and parts they need
- reduced administrative work: streamline the procurement process by eliminating the need for repetitive tendering or supplier vetting each time IT accessories or parts are needed.
How did we consider sustainability, equality and diversity as part of the tender?
Sustainability is of key concern to the HE sector and our suppliers are encouraged to operate and promote sustainable practices. Suppliers were evaluated in terms of their approach to:
- carbon reduction achievement and reporting
- commitments to delivering social value including community and voluntary schemes supported
- ensuring their supply chains follow the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code.
