How does the RM6068 framework give competitive pricing?

The Crown Commercial Services team ensure the best prices are achieved under the RM6068 framework through a combination of controls, measures and ongoing procurement activity. One of these activities is the negotiation of pan-government discounts through Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreements. These agreements are in place with a number of manufacturers including Microsoft, HP and HPE.

Find out more about HPE’s MoU with the Crown Commercial Service, making their technologies available to the public sector at new market-beating prices.

The RM6068 agreement provides the best public sector price to the distribution channel for transactional purchases (allowing resellers to compete on resale margin) and a single point of contact for any volume discount discussions.
