MLL Telecom has been accepted on to the DfE approved Everything ICT Framework.
This is aligned with the company’s strategy of making the procurement of its networking solutions and services as easily and widely accessible as possible to multi academy trusts (MATs) and schools.
The award followed a thorough evaluation of MLL’s business, financial and compliance credentials, including adherence to education standards, as well as the quality, innovative features, value for money and breadth of its portfolio of services. These are now available via the DfE approved Everything ICT service including not only networks provision and professional services, but also its wide range of market leading cyber, voice, cloud and broadband solutions.
“Strategically, as a growing supplier of technology solutions to MATs and schools, Everything ICT is a prerequisite framework for MLL,” said David Robson, head of bid management, MLL Telecom. “It is one of only a handful of DfE-approved frameworks for telecoms and broadband, and, is therefore, widely-known as a trusted source of supply for MATS and schools nationwide.”
He added, “We will be working hard to leverage the advantages it offers us including the benefit of allowing our products and services to be accessible to other public sector key markets served by MLL, such as healthcare and local councils. Furthermore, the Direct Award facility will be attractive to those of our customers looking to easily extend existing network services contracts or to add new services.”
A DfE-approved Framework for schools, Everything ICT can be used by any public sector organisation. It has become popular with areas such as health because of the ease of use, the wide range of trusted suppliers and compliance with procurement regulations.
