Kent County Council wants service providers

Kent County Council is looking for service providers as part of a half-a-billion pound managed services framework.

The framework covers areas of interest to resellers and MSPs, such as cybersecurity services, management of software and hardware, connectivity services and IT maintenance.

The council says that its four year framework is a strategic method for transforming and improving business processes through efficiencies, effectiveness and cutting operating costs.

Kent County Council adds that each service will need to be “tailored to meet the customer’s requirement” to “improve efficiency, provide an agile and reliable solution that will transform and meet their business objectives”.

Other local authorities will also have access to the framework, but only “with the agreement of the contracting authority”.

Resellers and MSPs have until 27 August to register.
