New Information Paradigms Public Sector
The Public Sector is increasingly having to change the way it works, moving from being primarily a service provider to being primarily a service procurer. This places an ever-greater burden on the Procurement function - often without significant increase in funding. Indeed, much of the drive for this transformation comes from a need to cut costs.
NIP's solutions for the Public Sector are specifically addressed at meeting this challenge, ensuring that professionals within Public Sector bodies have easy access to the information needed to make sensible Procurement decisions. They focus especially on:
- Providing management information within individual bodies to key executive decision makers
- Sharing relevant information between Public Sector bodies, who are often having to procure extremely similar services
All our solutions are designed to be adopted quickly, and to start providing useful information from Day 1. This is hopefully a welcome contrast to all-encompassing projects which promise a total panacea, but only a rolling 1-2 years downstream:
- Contracts Register - an online service allowing groups of Public Sector bodies to securely share details of current and proposed contracts to facilitate and support collaborative working
- Expenditure Analysis - an online service which allows users to analyse expenditure data from a body's accounting systems
- Procurement Life-cycle Management - an easy-to-use online service which provides both a control and a strategic perspective on the internal procurement processes of Public Sector bodies
