Leasing and Framework Agreements
At dte, we understand that the procurement procedures for companies vary, and in response, we can offer a variety of ways to streamline and simplify procurement for your business.
Framework Agreements
Often, the annual spend on product attracts small discounts due to the fact that purchases are made in small infrequent volumes. At dte we can arrange a framework agreement, to deliver a stronger discount structure on undisclosed purchases based upon the total annual purchase figure.
Special Bids
When undertaking a larger purchase of product, we can negotiate direct with technology vendors on your behalf. This will allow you access to a unique special bid pricing, based upon the volume and timescale of your project. Our skills and experience in negotiating, ensures that we can deliver the maximum available discount on your purchase. Special bids can encompass all of your volume purchases of Hardware, Software and Professional Services.
Open Book Policy
Increasingly IT departments have to go to extra lengths to demonstrate that an effective procurement procedure has been followed. This can make purchasing decisions, time consuming, Collating and managing quotations for infrastructure and product, as well as low cost, non critical items.
We currently work with a number of clients on an open book policy. This guarantees our clients a small fixed margin on every IT purchase, and delivers organizations, considerable cost savings on both budget and internal resource. Our open book policy delivers a simply managed and effective approach to IT procurement.
Leasing
For some companies, the option to lease makes great financial sense. Not only does this afford the company the opportunity to utilize the latest technology, but also ensures they can retain capital for investment for other areas of the business. Leasing can be tailored to your requirements, but ordinarily run over three to five years. Most leases operate on a fixed charge for the duration of the lease and are tax deductable.
Leasing of IT can make good commercial sense and the leased route, opens up the freedom to enhance IT performance and efficiency that companies may not have been able to invest in prior to leasing.
