Why buy from the National Public Sector Framework?
The framework is compliant with procurement regulations and is accessible to any organisation within the public sector. It provides access to 9 leasing suppliers across 3 lots which cover operating and finance lease arrangements for a variety of assets.
The framework can be used to purchase any high value assets such as ICT equipment, medical equipment and vehicles. This framework provides an alternative to lease arrangements offered directly by suppliers, or their preferred finance company. Framework users can simply gain the price for the asset and then utilise this framework to source the best value lease.
It was awarded on 18th September 2017 and runs to 17th September 2019 with a possible extension to 17th September 2021.
