Framework Agreements.
ACS has set out to deliver our best-in-class service to the public sector through a strategic approach, being accepted onto several framework agreements which align and allow us to deliver a full suite of technology hardware, services and support.
Since ACS’ founding, it has always supported the local community by serving the public sector to the best of its ability. For more than 25 years, ACS has championed best-in-class technology to evolve design and operation of workplaces, as well as safeguarding a business’ online presence. By adopting forward-thinking technology, cyber security, communication and interior strategies, ACS customers benefit from long-term value generation, and a technology partner that can provide a competitive advantage over their rivals and a workplace experience to be proud of.
More recently, ACS has been accepted onto several Crown Commercial Services frameworks. These frameworks offer and provide cost-effective and compliant procurement routes to our public sector customers, enabling them to access a wide range of hardware, software, infrastructure, and cloud solutions quickly and efficiently. With our most recent appointment onto the Digital Outcomes and Specialist framework, we can give our public sector customers access to teams that can provide outcome-based solutions and technical specialists to support our customers’ in-house digital technology projects.
“By leveraging the latest technology available, ACS will help to provide better security, work experiences, efficiency savings and ultimately, streamline and evolve existing services that are available to the Public Sector.” – Stephen Harley, Presales Director.
