Are you looking to buy IT hardware such as laptops, desktops or mobile phones, or do you need to renew your Adobe software license? By simply telling us about the technology you need to buy, we can help you achieve savings through technology aggregation that would not be possible through buying alone. 

We do this by collating your requirements with the requirements of other public sector bodies, which increases our buying power. 

Best of all, it’s a complimentary service that we offer to help you focus on other, more important tasks.
