eSourcing framework now live

LPP members can access a new eSourcing framework which has been set up to enable seamless integration with any existing systems and tools organisations may have.

The new framework features three components– eRFx, eAuction and Contract Management - and is provided to LPP members within their membership fee, and at highly competitive prices to other public sector bodies. Knowing that many organisations already have an eRFx or Contract Management solution, there has been a particular emphasis placed on interoperability between all external systems to ensure that any additional lots purchased will integrate seamlessly. The three lots are:

• Lot 1: eRFx – a web based tool that gives procurement professionals the ability to issue and manage online requests for information, proposals and quotations.
• Lot 2: eAuction - a powerful negotiation tool that helps reduce procurement costs through increased market transparency and competitive bidding.
• Lot 3: Contract Management - a tool for managing the entire lifecycle of contracts from creation through to maintenance and onto renewals.

eSourcing technology provides a highly valuable business tool that facilitates faster and fairer processes for conducting tenders and negotiations.

This framework is now live. For more information (including non-member pricing) please visit the LPP website, or contact Nicola.atack@lpp.nhs.uk for access information.
