Introduction
The National Category Forum (NCF) identified that the top priority in the IT Services portfolio was a national framework for IT Managed Services. As such, Scottish Procurement commenced an extensive period of supplier and stakeholder engagement, which resulted in the IT Managed Services (ITMS) multi-supplier framework agreement being awarded on 31st March 2011.
The other areas identified by the NCF that were worthy of further consideration from a national perspective included: IT Consulting and IT Project and Programme Management.
Data Centre Survey
Scottish Procurement have conducted a survey on the use of Data Centres across the Scottish Public Sector. All queries should be directed to Lorraine Hook
Framework Navigation Tool
The Framework Navigation Tool provides a quick reference point for Scottish Public Sector customers of the available Scottish and UK frameworks for selected procurement commodities. Where possible, Scottish Procurement has also included information about sectoral specific frameworks.
The tool is intended to be used by procurement professionals and subject matter professionals (e.g. IT Managers) when considering appropriate routes to market for their requirement.
