Outsourcery has secured its first G-Cloud contract having been selected by Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to provide its Microsoft Lync SaaS solution, delivered from Outsourcery's O-Cloud PGA OFFICIAL Internet Platform.
The Trust provides mental health and community health services and employs over 4,000 staff across 100 hundred sites.
Piers Linney, Co-CEO of Outsourcery, said: "The G-Cloud framework provides significant benefits to all public sector organisations, whether at a national or local level by enabling them to engage with innovative SMEs such as Outsourcery that may not be on existing procurement frameworks.
"With the launch of the revamped Contracts Finder portal, public sector opportunities will become less complicated and costly to bid for, making deals such as ours with Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust more common.
"The new Contracts Finder portal is a huge opportunity for SMEs to gain visibility across a wealth of public sector opportunities."
Mark Davison, Director of IM&T at Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, added: "Using the G-Cloud gave us access to a much broader range of suppliers that we would not have considered had we followed previous procurement approaches outside the framework.
"Importantly, this meant receiving tenders from a range of smaller providers who were able to be more competitive on price and flexible in the service they offered."
