Quick Quote Tool: Nine months on
It is now nine months since we launched our Quick Quote Tool. The tool was designed as a quick and easy way for buyers to gain quotes for straightforward IT hardware requirements under local SFIs under the IT Hardware and Services (LINK3) framework.
In that time, we have had some great feedback from IT buyers who have used the tool for both large and small-scale purchases. Along with the compliance benefits, feedback has demonstrated that the tool saves time, has eliminated the need to locate supplier details and has proven to be an efficient and effective way of achieving compliant IT hardware requirements for a trust.
Trusts are also starting to cascade use of the tool to IT departments to enable them to purchase IT hardware themselves in an easy, robust and compliant manner.
Using the Quick Quote Tool is simple. Simply select the green tab on the IT Hardware and Services (LINK3) framework page and complete the form. If you are not logged-in you will be prompted to do so. The completed form will be sent directly to the suppliers on the selected lots and a copy emailed to you for your records. The suppliers will then respond to you directly with their quotes using the contact information you provided.
If you do not have a website account to access the tool you can easily select ‘Create New Account’ to register for one.
