Everything ICT provides the public sector with guarantees and can replace a supplier who fails to deliver.

As a DfE-approved ICT procurement framework with over 200 pre-approved and trusted suppliers, we make it quick and easy for you to get what you need through direct awards, multiple quotes and mini-competitions.
