Looking Forward
A Great Deal more savings to be made
The next set of IT Great Deals offerings
The next phase of Great Deals has been developed after several months of market research and was launched earlier this month.
As the IT Great Deals scheme continues to evolve, Buying Solutions have developed a range of specifications for desktops, laptops and monitors - all available at significantly discounted prices to the whole public sector. Buying Solutions have also developed specifications which have been created specifically with schools in mind. In collaboration with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and OGC, Buying Solutions has been able to develop targeted offerings for our school customers.
Key Benefits to Customers
Buying Solutions is committed to saving customers both time and money. The Great Deals initiative allows customers to call-off requirements easily, buying directly from the website and securing excellent prices in the process. Customers are finding it increasingly simple to meet the IT requirements of their organisations whether it be for one unit, or hundreds through the IT Great Deals scheme. Another key feature of the scheme is the range of upgrades, downgrades and accessories available.
Is it as good as it says on the tin?
These deals have been developed following research and consultation with both users and suppliers. Great Deals prices are benchmarked to ensure that customers achieve excellent value for money.The offering is based on the specifications that public sector customers are buying regularly. As well as enhanced cash savings, customers enjoy the other key benefits that all framework agreements deliver:
- Excellent prices achieved through aggregating public sector demand
- An accelerated, EU compliant route to sourcing
- A sustainable approach to procurement
Last year Buying Solutions saved its customers £516 million by using best practice procurement processes which strive to get the best possible deals from the marketplace.
