PARTNERS & FRAMEWORKS

Reach us direct, or through the relationship you already have.

Efficient IS is an approved supplier on the Scotland Excel Audio Visual framework, and delivers specialist AV projects as a partner within existing Computacenter, Insight and CDW relationships — plus we work directly with organisations who’d rather engage us straight away. Every route, same delivery team. That is the promise behind Partners & Frameworks: however you reach us, delivery does not change.

Brand-agnostic

We recommend what’s right for the room, not what we’re tied to

We work directly with the major manufacturers across AV, unified comms, computing and network hardware — not locked into a single brand’s product line, so the specification is led by your requirement and budget rather than a sales target.

Questions we’re asked most

Partners & Frameworks: Answered Plainly

How do I procure through Scotland Excel?

We’re an approved supplier on the Scotland Excel Audio Visual framework, available direct to all 32 Scottish local authorities — see our Scotland Excel Framework page for how to engage us through it.

Do these frameworks cover England too?

Scotland Excel is Scotland-only. In England, the framework routes are Computacenter, Insight and CDW — design and procurement are still led centrally from our Glasgow office, with delivery through our vetted local install-partner network.

Do I need to already be a Computacenter, Insight or CDW customer?

If you already hold an account with one of these resellers, we can deliver the AV work within that existing relationship. If you don’t, you can still engage us directly, or via Scotland Excel where you’re eligible.

Can we just contact you directly, without going through a framework?

Yes — plenty of clients do. Every route reaches the same delivery team and the same standard of work.

Not sure which route applies to you?

Tell us who you already work with and we’ll tell you the fastest way to bring us in.

More about working with us

Is there a minimum project size to use one of these routes?

No. A single boardroom upgrade and an estate wide rollout go through the same routes, whether that’s Scotland Excel or a reseller relationship. Which route makes sense usually comes down to what you already have in place, not the size of the project itself.

Can we start with a direct conversation and route it through a framework later if that turns out to be simpler?

Yes. It’s common to start with a straightforward conversation about what you need, and only confirm the procurement route, direct, Scotland Excel, or through a reseller, once the scope is clear enough to know which one actually applies.

Does using a framework or reseller relationship change which engineers do the installation?

No. Whichever route you come in through, design is led from our Glasgow office and installation is delivered by the same team, our own engineers or a vetted local partner, so the procurement route doesn’t change who actually does the work.

Can we mix routes across a single organisation, for example one region through Scotland Excel and another through a reseller?

Yes. It’s common for a multi region organisation to use whichever route applies to each part of the estate, Scotland Excel for the Scottish sites and a reseller relationship elsewhere, rather than forcing the whole organisation down a single procurement path that doesn’t fit every location.
