Eight compliant routes to bring Efficient IS onto your project
If you’re a public sector buyer, a council, an NHS board, a police or fire service, a school or university, your procurement team can very likely bring us on board through a framework route that’s already compliant with your organisation’s own governance requirements. This page is the plain-English map of every one, to make that conversation easier for your procurement team, not to go around them.
Confirmed via public Government Commercial Agency (formerly Crown Commercial Service) supplier records
Framework positions change, suppliers are added, frameworks expire and get replaced. Everything below was confirmed at the time this page was built; always check current status with us or the framework provider before committing a project to a specific route.

Read the detail, or just ask
If none of that’s obvious from where you’re sitting, tell us who you already procure through (or that you don’t have a route yet) and we’ll confirm the fastest compliant way to bring us in.
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.
Government & Public Sector Frameworks: Answered Plainly
How do public sector buyers procure AV, network or cloud work from Efficient IS?
Either directly through the Scotland Excel Audio Visual framework (for Scottish public bodies), or via a call-off route through Computacenter, Insight or CDW if your organisation already holds a relationship with one of them under a relevant Crown Commercial Service / Government Commercial Agency framework.
Do these frameworks cover the new IT and network services, or just AV?
Both: Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (RM6098) and Technology Services 4 (RM6190) in particular cover network hardware, cabling and installation services alongside AV equipment, and Cloud Compute 2 / G-Cloud 14 cover Microsoft 365 and Azure work.
What if my organisation doesn’t have a route through any of these?
Get in touch and we’ll talk through direct procurement options, or confirm whether your organisation is eligible for the Scotland Excel framework or one of the reseller relationships.
