New CCS framework puts Wavenet’s network services at your fingertips placeholder thumbnail
 

Public sector organisations looking to improve their networking and embrace new technologies can now do so through a new Crown Commercial Service framework, to which Wavenet has been awarded a place on five lots.

 

If you’re a buyer for a public sector organisation, you’ll know only too well that the expectation to ‘do more with less’ – or indeed ‘do better with less’ – extends to how your organisation uses technology today and tomorrow.

 

The new Crown Commercial Service (CCS) purchasing framework – RM6116 Network Services 3 – could therefore help in your work, by putting a wide range of network services at your fingertips, including those from Wavenet, which already works with organisations such as the DVLA, NHS 111 and Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

 

Additionally, Wavenet is one of only a handful of suppliers that has been awarded a place on five lots, which as an overall framework, cover services such as:

  • Core network
  • Local area network
  • Fibre optic cabling
  • 5G network
  • Internet access
  • Unified communications
  • Internet protocol (IP) telephony
  • Cloud services
  • Audio and video conferencing
  • Satellite networking
  • Maintenance and support services
  • Contact centre services
  • Security and surveillance
  • Professional services required to design, install and manage network solutions

 

The framework also gives you access to new and emerging technologies such as:

  • IoT (Internet of Things) and smart technologies
  • Tactical radio products and services
  • Critical domain services
  • Communication platform as a service

 

The five lots Wavenet has been awarded a place on are:

  • 1a – Inter Site Connectivity (Wider Area Network) / Data Access Services
  • 2a – Intra Site Connectivity (Local Area Network) / Local Connectivity Services
  • 4a – Analogue Telephony
  • 4b – Digital Communication Services (Unified Communications)
  • 4c – Contact Centre Solutions

 

Many of these services have a clear purpose and as a buyer, you may have a specific use in mind for them. But at the same time, they may be part of a wider project and indeed part of longer term digital transformation, which is more focused on the outcome rather than the tools required. Whichever kind of work you are exploring, Wavenet’s work with public sector organisations considers both the little details and the bigger picture – so if you need further information, have a look at the case studies below, call us today on 0333 234 0011, or get in touch via our website.
