The agreement that simplifies and strengthens procurement.

Graham Threlfall, Furniture Category Specialist at Buying Solutions, says
"This framework agreement will provide customers with greater clarity in terms of the products available and from whom, allowing customers to run further competitions more efficiently with fewer suppliers.  This procurement has been a collaborative effort with a mixture of stakeholders from Central Government and the wider public sector and is the largest of its kind in Europe."

Dylan Morris, Technical Manager, D Proc, SS-ComCluster, Defence Furniture CMT at the MoD said today of the collaboration:

"Working in collaboration over the past 18 months, the DE&S' Furniture Category Management Team are exceedingly pleased to have had the opportunity for working closely with Buying Solutions and in doing so supporting the 'Transforming Government Procurement' initiative." In line with UK Government procurement policy, Buying Solutions has worked closely with the Central Point of Expertise (CPET) to ensure that all timber inclusive products supplied under the framework agreement satisfy the requirement.

Sofie Tind Nielson, CEPT Project Manager, said today:"Buying Solutions' new framework for the timber sourcing requirements is leading the way forward".
