TNP joins Crown Commercial Service Network Services framework

Network solutions provider, The Networking People (TNP), is set to grow significantly following the news it has been awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Network Services framework agreement (RM1045).

Demonstrating this, of the successful bidders for inclusion within the framework, one in three is a small or medium sized business, significantly opening up competition in the supply and delivery of networks to the public sector.

On TNP’s inclusion within the framework, Chris Wade, commercial director at Lancaster-based TNP, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Network Services framework agreement (RM1045) to supply network connectivity and local connectivity to the public sector.

“SMEs deliver much greater flexibility, which we know is sorely needed in the public sector. Through our placement on the framework, the public sector will be able to directly gain value from our experience in designing, building and supporting public sector networks that reduce operating cost and leverage existing investment with the option of using alternative technologies.”
