Representing the second consecutive time that GDPA has received a three-year framework agreement for its comprehensive range of Lec Medical branded products, this latest award also extends to the company's Lec Commercial refrigeration range.

The Buying Solutions' website - www.buyingsolutions.gov.uk - is designed to facilitate the buying process for the public sector, enabling GDPA's products to be accessed by a customer base that spans the biggest central government departments, NHS Trusts, local councils and schools.

GDPA's Marketing Manager, Jon Usher, comments: "We are proud to have again received a place on this framework agreement from Buying Solutions. The process of procurement is rigorous and demanding, so we are delighted to have proved our capabilities in meeting the very stringent 'fit for purpose' and 'value for money' criteria that the Buying Solution frameworks demand."

Jon adds: "Having worked with Buying Solutions in the past, we see the framework agreements as an essential component for us to deepen our understanding of public sector requirements, so that we can continue to develop products and services that will specifically meet their needs."

The Buying Solutions' framework agreement not only provides public sector customers with an assurance of quality, service and manufacturing excellence in a highly complex marketplace, it enables them to choose their products with confidence and save valuable time and money.
