Digital Workplace Solutions Framework – Simple, Reliability Guaranteed and Potential for Huge Cost Savings
In the summer of 2020, eacs was announced as one of only a small handful of certified suppliers to the newly established Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) Framework. The new framework replaced the previously named Link: IT Solutions framework agreement and is designed to provide ALL Public Sector Agencies with a simple and effective route to market. The framework provides purchasing bodies with a list of trusted, verified suppliers who have been thoroughly vetted to ensure they have the skills and proven track record of delivering Digital Workplace Solutions.
As a business we are delighted to be one of only 28 organisations who met the required grade through a comprehensive and vigorous vetting process. The framework runs from August 2020 for two years (with the option for a further two years), so we thought we’d take the time to give an overview of this framework and how you can use it to ensure you obtain value whilst at the same getting access to new, innovative solutions which can make a real difference to your organisation.
What is the aim of the framework?
The SBS-DWS framework is designed to provide a simple, effective and compliant route to market for ANY Public Sector agency to source effective, workplace solutions across a range of IT infrastructure, hardware and software areas. Any NHS and Public Sector authority can take advantage of this framework by simply registering here. Some of the products and services available include data centre infrastructure, servers & storage, networking & security products, end user computing hardware & software, professional services and training and much more (you can find a full breakdown of available services here).
What are the benefits of using the framework?
– Removes the need for NHS and wider public sector organisations to run costly individual procurement exercises, saving time and resources.
– Access to an approved list of suppliers who have been rigorously vetted to ensure they meet stringent standards.
– Gain access to the newest IT and digital innovations.

– Potential saving opportunities of 10-20% dependent on the supplier and service chosen alongside the potential for efficiency savings.
