Did you know that Mars Drinks has a contract with the OGC? If you did already know this you will understand that this is quite an achievement. If you didn’t – prepare to be impressed!
The selection process is rigorous and assesses a business’s strengths across a wide range of strict criteria, from customer support to technical services, from pricing to environmental performance. All in all, being awarded a contract from the OGC is a pretty sure sign that Mars Drinks and its drink vending systems get rather a large stamp of approval.
Okay, now we know how difficult it is to win OGC accreditation, let’s have a look at the benefits for customers. The idea behind the OGC’s contracts database is that public sector bodies can go in and choose an accredited supplier – and they come with pre-checked, gleaming credentials. So no more lengthy procurement processes!! The terms are pre-agreed and, with the framework in place, public sector purchasers don’t have to worry about long-winded negotiations. It’s purchasing made simple!
And, it goes without saying that it’s a great place for suppliers to be listed – this is where organisations from Central Government to the Prison Service, from the NHS to Local Government come for all their procurement needs.
