Technology Products & Associated Services (TePAS) offers public sector buyers a flexible and compliant way to source all of their technology product needs. This replaces the previous Technology Products 2 (RM3733) framework but is the first iteration of the Technology Products frameworks to have associated services in its scope. Under this agreement buyers can procure a wide variety of IT hardware and software products, as well as associated services. The framework can be accessed by an easy price-only request for quote exercise or for more complex requirements, further competitions can be run. The framework was established through a collaborative procurement exercise undertaken by ESPO and CCS (Crown Commercial Service).
