The Multi-Framework Strategy: How to Procure a Complete IT Estate Without the Administrative Headache

University procurement teams are well-versed in the specific mechanisms of UKUPC frameworks. You understand the compliance requirements and the procurement vehicles available. The challenge is not about understanding the frameworks. It’s about the operational burden of managing them simultaneously to deliver a cohesive IT strategy. 

Trying to piece together an end-to-end solution (from data centre to desktop) often involves juggling multiple suppliers, conflicting delivery timelines, and disjointed administrative processes. This fragmentation creates unnecessary friction and increases the workload on your internal teams. 

XMA removes this complexity. We possess the regulatory expertise to navigate the entire framework landscape on your behalf. We do not just hold a position on these agreements, we understand the intricacies of the terms and procurement regulations for each, allowing us to build a compliant, integrated solution that spans your entire infrastructure. 

 

A Single Route for Complex Requirements  

We act as your strategic consolidation point. Instead of raising separate tenders for hardware, software, and infrastructure, you can leverage our position across the board: 

  • Compute & Devices (NDNA & Apple): We execute large-scale deployments of Windows and Apple devices under the NDNA terms you trust, ensuring standardisation across campus. 
  • Enterprise Infrastructure (SSSNA & NEUPC): We architect your backend using SSSNA for servers and storage, and NEUPC for the critical networking layer. We align these complex installs with your device rollout schedules. 
  • Software & Peripherals (SLRA & ITRAP): We handle the granular details (licensing compliance via SLRA and essential peripherals via ITRAP) ensuring no component is overlooked. 

 

Expertise That Reduces Risk  

Our public sector team dedicates itself to understanding the specific procurement rules of these bodies. We ensure that every transaction meets the strict governance and audit requirements you face. By entrusting the navigation of these frameworks to XMA, you release your procurement team from the “heavy lifting” of vendor coordination. 

We deliver the technology you need, strictly adhering to the frameworks you rely on, without the administrative hassle. Talk to your XMA Account Manager or contact us at enquiries@xma.co.uk to start a conversation.
