The Network Services 2 (RM3808) framework agreement offers organisations a range of Telecommunication and ancillary services across 13 lots. This framework allows organisations to select services by Direct Award or Further Competition.

Direct award is available on all 13 lots, where supplier Service Offers are shown in the Government eMarketplace catalogue, and offers a quick and flexible way to procure services from an approved supplier on the framework.

Yes, purchasing services via Direct Award is fully OJEU compliant, without the need to run a Further Competition. All suppliers who list services on the Government eMarketplace for Direct Award are fully approved by the CCS, so organisations considering Direct Award can purchase in confidence.

If you know the services you require, the Direct Award route offers organisations the ability to identify, evaluate and select suitable service offers in a catalogue format. This is a CCS approved procurement route and can help organisations purchase services more quickly and without the need for a lengthy Further Competition process.

For more complex requirements, or when you require bespoke requirements or Special Terms, the Further Competition route should be used.

Our specialist consultants can offer additional guidance on when the Further Competition route may be more suitable.

Live Service Offers from approved suppliers can be found in the technology catalogue in the Government eMarketplace, where you can search, evaluate and select the Services required. Your organisation will need to register as a Buyer to be able to access the catalogues. More information on registering can be found here.

Once you have completed your evaluation of the relevant Service Offers, you can place an order for your chosen offer by completing the Call-Off Order Form. More guidance here

If after searching the catalogue you are unable to find a suitable Service Offer for your organisation’s requirements, you can issue a Request for Information (RFI) to all the Suppliers on the chosen lot. Approved Suppliers then have the opportunity to respond with an existing Service Offer, or can upload a new Service Offer to the catalogue to meet your requirements.

When we introduce our offerings – such as Horizon, SIP or Unified Comms – into public sector organisations, it drives out huge amounts of costs and turns highly complex organisations into easy-to-manage infrastructures.

Because we know that public sector procurements are now all about achieving specific outcomes; it is not about the technologies, products and solutions used to achieve them. This approach does not suit entrenched legacy suppliers who are unable to match the agility of vendors like Gamma.

We seek to engage with your long-term ICT strategy and provide a transparent route to procurement, delivery and ongoing management. We understand the budget pressures you are facing and will work with you to increase the impact of every pound you spend, making your budgets go further.

Gamma’s solutions offer intelligent call routing, fixed/mobile integration and unified communications. These can be integrated with Microsoft Skype® for Business and leading CRM tools such as Salesforce to help your staff work and collaborate more effectively.

Support is provided by our friendly, UK-based team and is available 24×7. Also bear in mind that more than 98% of our customers remain with us after the first year of service, one of the highest retention rates in the industry.
