Why Hardware.com is perfect for Public Sector Procurement

Hardware.com already has an impressive list of satisfied Public Sector customers - ranging from District, Metropolitan & County Councils, through Police Authorities to Central Government Departments. We believe our level of service - quotes within the hour and next day delivery as standard for orders placed before 4pm - are increasingly valued as Authorities strive to meet the requirement to maintain their e-Government Services on a 24/7 basis.

Orders can also be conveniently secured through the use of the Government Procurement Card facility.

While many in the public sector are developing framework agreements to meet their needs, hardware.com believes that the pace of innovation and falling cost of capability in the IT hardware sector means there is an increasing risk that Framework agreements will not provide best value for money for Public Sector buyers. We would therefore encourage you to allow us to quote for your requirements even where you have the option of using a Framework agreement, therefore giving you the ability to demonstrate (often necessitated in the context of a formal Audit or Comprehensive Performance Assessment) that you are getting best value for money whatever procurement route you use.

Our performance as a supplier to the Public Sector is reflected in the level of repeat business we experience. Feedback indicates that the following factors are important in achieving this:
