New opportunities for Public Sector customers

Tessella’s inclusion in the latest round of OGCbuying.solutions’ Catalist frameworks, means that Public Sector customers now have a fast and easy route to obtaining our consultancy and specialist solutions services.

Tessella has been awarded three framework agreements with OGCbuying.solutions, having been successful during a competitive process, fully compliant with EU Directives.

Tessella is included in the ICT Consultancy and Specialist Solutions frameworks (in the lots covering ‘Applications Development’ and ‘Electronic Document & Records Management Solutions’).

Under the ICT Consultancy framework Tessella can provide consultancy on the design of ICT applications (bespoke or customized COTS) to deliver customer IT strategies and projects. It can include the design of stand-alone applications or middleware to ensure effective systems integration as well as advice on application design management.

The Specialist Solutions framework offers customers an end-to-end solution, and can include solutions identification, design, development, implementation, integration, data take-on, data migration, systems security, user training, maintenance and support, managed services and review services. The category also includes bespoke (custom-built) applications design and development, and the ongoing maintenance and support of applications during their life cycles. This may include prototyping, the tailoring of existing products, data migration and user training.

Tessella’s inclusion in both these frameworks allows us to offer customers services covering the early identification and analysis of problem areas in their businesses, right through to the implementation of ICT-based solutions.

OGCbuying.solutions is an Executive Agency of the Office of Government Commerce in HM Treasury. The Agency helps customers save money by providing public sector organizations with a route to high quality products and services that enable them to buy the things they need quickly, efficiently and at highly competitive prices.

Catalist will evolve over time; the current framework agreements will run until their expiry dates and the relevant Terms and Conditions will still apply until this time. A major programme to put in place a series of new framework agreements under the Catalist brand will be completed by the autumn of 2006.

Tessella is delighted that Public Sector organizations will now have easy access to our services through Catalist.
