Let’s be honest, keeping up with technology in the public sector can be a minefield. You’re under constant pressure to upgrade, stay secure, and make every penny count. Whether you’re in healthcare, education, or local government, the demand for smarter, faster, and more reliable IT is relentless.Â
That’s before we even start talking about procurement. Just when you know what you need, you hit the wall of frameworks, lots, and sector-specific rules. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin.Â
That’s where we, XMA, come in. We’re here to make it straightforward. We’ll help you use TePAS 2 and Link 4 to get the tech you need, without the usual headaches.Â
Â
TePAS 2: Your Go-To for Public Sector TechÂ
Think of the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (TePAS 2) framework (RM6098) from the Crown Commercial Service as a pre-approved catalogue for pretty much all your IT needs.Â
Working with XMA on TePAS 2 means you can easily get your hands on:Â
- All the gear: From laptops for your team to the complex systems running in the background.Â
- The right software: Covering everything from security to everyday productivity tools, all properly licensed.Â
- Expert help: Need someone to manage your devices, support your users, or guide a big IT project? We’ve got you.Â
- Greener choices: We’ll help you find IT solutions that meet your environmental and social goals.Â
The beauty of TePAS 2 is that it’s built to be flexible. It doesn’t matter if you’re outfitting a new school, modernising council services, or future-proofing a hospital’s IT – it’s designed to fit.Â
And with XMA’s know-how, you won’t just buy stuff faster. You’ll make smarter choices that deliver real value for years to come.Â
Â
Link 4: Sharpening the Focus for Healthcare (and Beyond)Â
While TePAS 2 covers a lot of ground, Link 4 (SBS10514 / NOE.0633) is laser-focused on the specific demands of healthcare and clinical environments. But don’t let that fool you – it’s still a great option for the wider public sector when the fit is right.Â
Link 4 makes it simpler to buy:Â
- Specialist healthcare IT: The kind of hardware and equipment designed for patient care.Â
- Tailored support: Services that understand the unique pressures of clinical settings.Â
- Essential tech add-ons: All those peripherals and bits of kit that are vital for delivering healthcare.Â
So, whether you’re upgrading devices for frontline hospital staff or improving how a local authority health team handles sensitive data, Link 4, endorsed by NHS Supply Chain, is a trusted route.Â
And with XMA by your side, we’ll make sure you’re using the right framework for the right job, every time.Â
Â
