Catalist
(formerly GCat) is a framework agreement with 25 of the UK's leading I.T. suppliers,
negotiated on the Public Sector's behalf by OGCbuying.solutions, an Agency
of the Office of government Commerce.
It is open to all Public Sector organisations, including central and
local government, health and education bodies, devolved administrations
and police and fire authorities. Using the framework involves signing
a simple Customer Access Agreement - it is free to join and there is
no obligation to purchase. NHS organisations in England and Wales are
already eligible through a joint agreement with PASA (NHSCat-IT), and
can access products through NHSNet. Government and the wider Public
Sector spent over £400m through GCat and NHSCat-IT last year,
and independent price benchmarking activity shows that the scheme is
delivering an average price saving in the region of 8%, with further
significant savings from reduced processing costs.*
