Decision details

To affiliate to the INTRAN Framework on a year by year basis allowing FDC to access the Pricing Schedule and rates of the pooled services.

This is a group of public facing organisations operating in the East of England. Being able to access the framework will allow all services to pay cheaper rates to suppliers of translation communication services. The suppliers are similar to current suppliers so the service standard will maintain, but the overall cost to the Council will reduce. Services are most often required on demand which removed the freedom to procure on an ad hoc basis.

Continue with existing processes, this will provide the same quality of service but will not achieve savings.
