Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) has launched a data centre, cloud hosting and data security solutions framework and Leeds-based pure technology group (PTG) has secured supplier status, supplying to the former’s 19,000 customers.
The framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations, which includes YPO’s internal requirements, and has an estimated total value of £400m.
“Being a part of the YPO framework presents us with a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate our passion to work alongside organisations in the public sector and help them achieve their strategic IT objectives for the best value for money,” PTG sales director Scott Deacon told Networking+. “It’s one which we’re very excited about and we’re looking forward to further developing our blossoming relationship with the YPO as this framework grows.”
YPO is the largest formally constituted public sector buying organisation in the UK and is owned by 13 local authorities in the north of England.
It supplies products and services to a wide range of customers including schools, local authorities, charities, emergency services and the wider public sector and manages over 100 frameworks.
Its vision is that every public sector organisation achieves the best possible value for money when procuring its goods and services.
PTG has been awarded 10 lots by YPO, which cover; mechanical and electrical infrastructure, data security solutions, education and cloud services, plus hosting, in addition to the support of existing hardware and data.
Its aspiration for the YPO framework and its other state sector partners is to play a major role in the journey to digitise service delivery in the public sector.
In total 29 suppliers have been appointed to the framework, including: Keysource, Sudlows, Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL and Secure I.T. Environment.
