About the Tech Devices – Link 4 Framework Agreement
The Tech Devices – Link 4 Framework Agreement is designed to streamline the purchase of IT hardware and related services for the NHS and wider public sector. It provides a compliant route to market for NHS Trusts, Clinical Commissioning Groups, and other healthcare organisations seeking reliable, cost-effective technology solutions.
Sakir Mahmud, Principal Category Manager at NHS Shared Business Services commented:
“The Tech Devices – Link 4 Framework Agreement builds on the success of its predecessor, IT Hardware and Services (Link 3) to provide an easy to use, value for money route to procure workplace devices for the NHS and wider public sector. This new framework agreement brings with it important sustainability considerations by incorporating a lot for refurbished and remanufactured devices to provide options to public sector buyers for more environmentally friendly and cost-effective devices.”
Adele Guettat, Category Manager at NOE CPC, said, “We are incredibly proud of the service NOE CPC delivers and the expertise of our team. The Tech Devices – Link 4 framework provides a wide range of benefits including a wide portfolio of products, sustainable products with demonstrable environmental benefits, and agreed fixed minimum discounts on non-core basket products.
“We are delighted when organisations like Tier1 meet the high standards required and are awarded to our frameworks to continue to deliver value across the public sector.”
