Buying Solutions CITHS
Trustmarque Solutions has earned a place on the government IT framework for Commoditised IT Hardware and Software (CITHS), previously known as Catalist. Trustmarque is one of just ten companies to be awarded a framework agreement for a position on the prestigious software supplier list with preferred adviser and provider status to both central civil government and the wider public sector.
The CITHS framework replaces the IT Goods and Associated Services agreement and allows Trustmarque to sell to the public sector for the next three and a half years with the option for this to be extended to four.
CITHS is managed by Buying Solutions, the national procurement partner for UK public services and an Executive Agency of the Office of Government Commerce in the Treasury.
Customers who can benefit from this arrangement include:
- Government Departments
- Local authorities
- Healthcare establishments
- "Blue Light" organisations such and Fire and Ambulance services
- Education Authorities
In essence, buying from an approved Buying Solutions supplier such as Trustmarque means that you and other public sector organisations can buy quickly and efficiently at highly competitive prices.
As an authorised CITHS supplier, we have already been "pre approved" via a competitive process and thoroughly vetted, meaning that you don't have to go through the laborious process of obtaining several quotations and are dealing with a credible supplier.
In order to deal with your enquiries in a fast, efficient and reliable manner we have a team of dedicated account managers on hand who are fully trained and accredited to the highest level with major software vendors. These account managers receive regular updates from all the major software manufacturers to ensure their knowledge is always up to date.
