IT infrastructure solutions and services provider Softcat has been awarded a place on the new Scottish Government Technology Peripherals and Infrastructure framework.

The framework will enable Scottish public sector and third-sector organisations to purchase hardware installations and network solutions.

The contract is split into two lots – Lot 1: IT Equipment Catalogue and Lot 2: IT Complex Infrastructure Projects ­­– and will last for two years, with the option to extend by a further two.

Lot 2 will see Softcat work alongside three other organisations to support the server and storage requirements of framework public bodies by delivering complex infrastructure projects.

Louise Fellows, Public Sector Director at Softcat, said, “We are absolutely delighted to be awarded a place on the technology peripherals and infrastructure framework. This is a great achievement by the team, and we hope it helps strengthen our relationships with our Scottish public sector customers.

“We see this as a massive opportunity to continue developing our Scottish team, and we are thrilled to be working with Scottish Procurement in making this framework a success.”
