BARCLAY Communications, including its sister company, WorkPal, has been awarded a place on the ‘Government Framework for the Digital Marketplace’, meaning more than 36,000 public sector buying organisations will be able to avail of its products.
Local authorities, district councils, devolved administrations, universities and the police and fire service can use the Digital Marketplace to find and buy digital based products.
Now included in this is marketplace will be Barclay Communications own workflow management system WorkPal, a mobile and desktop app which streamlines workflow, with job management, time tracking, job reports and invoicing.
The Digital Marketplace creates greater opportunities for suppliers and buyers to establish new trading partnerships, both within and across supply chains.
With the availability, price and stock level all accessible in an open environment, the Digital Marketplace allows for a greater sense of transparency in the purchasing process.
Britt Megahey, managing director of Barclay Communications, said the achievement opens up an additional sales channel to market and sell their products, and enables the firm to offer competitive pricing compared to other sales channels.
"It’s a huge achievement that Barclay Communications has been awarded supplier status on the Government Framework, helping to cut down procurement time with this faster and easier to use service," he added.
"Buyers no longer need to carry out lengthy tender processes as the frameworks on the Digital Marketplace are fully compliant with procurement regulations."
