What is the TePAS 2 Framework and Why Should Schools Care?

Managed by Crown Commercial Service (CCS), TePAS 2 provides public sector organisations with a compliant route to purchase technology products and associated services from suppliers that have already been assessed against stringent government standards.

Why use a procurement framework?

Running a full procurement exercise can be time consuming, resource intensive and complex.

Framework agreements remove much of that burden by establishing contracts with approved suppliers in advance. This means buyers can purchase technology knowing that suppliers have already demonstrated their capability, financial stability and ability to meet public sector requirements.

For schools and trusts, this means less administration and more time focusing on improving teaching, learning and operational efficiency.

Introducing TePAS 2

Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (TePAS 2) is one of the UK's major public sector technology procurement frameworks.

It provides buyers with access to a wide range of technology products and services, helping organisations purchase everything from end user devices through to infrastructure and associated solutions using compliant procurement routes.

The framework supports:

• Schools
• Multi Academy Trusts
• Local Authorities
• Universities
• Colleges
• NHS organisations
• Central Government
• Wider public sector bodies

Rather than undertaking lengthy tender exercises for routine technology purchases, eligible organisations can buy through approved framework suppliers with confidence.

Procurement regulations are designed to ensure fairness, transparency and value for public money.

Ultimately, frameworks allow organisations to spend less time managing procurement and more time delivering positive outcomes.
