IT Procurement
Commercially astute, strategically-oriented procurement services, tailored to the specifics of your business.
Procurement Services That Minimise Stress
IT procurement should never be driven by habit, brand preference or convenience. It should be driven by fit. Our procurement service looks beyond immediate or preferred partnerships to recommend technology that supports your reality.
Partnering directly with your team, our IT professionals take the time to understand your business; modelling processes and getting under the skin of your day-to-day so that we can recommend technology and infrastructure that fit your use-case, and drive tangible benefits to operational efficiency.
We then draw on 50 years of industry experience to source, negotiate for, purchase and manage everything from wireless keyboards to network switches, modems or backup and recovery servers. We take full responsibility for all technology supplied via our procurement service and proactively monitor your infrastructure to insulate you from risk.
Ultimately, our procurement service streamlines IT infrastructure, minimises costs and ensures that your IT estate supports your growth ambitions.
Procurement That Puts Your Needs First
When procurement exercises are aligned with broader business goals, you can select technology that scales with your business. Careful procurement can also improve day-to-day efficiencies, and working with an experienced partner means that you’ll be able to negotiate for preferential deals
Across multiple sectors, we help SMEs source:
- Network infrastructure
- Servers and hard drives
- Cloud licenses
- End user devices
- Telephony and conferencing equipment
- AI tools
To be fully transparent, we do maintain a network of trusted suppliers, and we do leverage that network to source technology at a substantial discount, but we always prioritise your requirements and never push a solution based on cost alone.
Instead, we focus on understanding your budget, culture, use-case so we can research and surface best-in-class technology that will augment and improve your day-to-day operations.
A Proven Service
Large and small organisations across the North East of Scotland rely on us to source, purchase and manage their IT technology. Our services are valued because we provide:
1. Tailored recommendations
We partner with clients to understand their technical estate, their growth plans, their financial constraints and their appetite for risk. Based on the specifics of your business, our consultants can work to recommend solutions that are a genuine good fit.
2. Market Knowledge
We live and breathe IT technology. We also partner with some of the most trusted and reliable brands in the industry, including Microsoft and Cisco. These partnerships, coupled with our strong knowledge of the technology market, allow us to negotiate significant discounts.
3. Sector-Specific Insights
Our highly-experienced team has the knowledge needed to win better deals for charities, educational institutions and not-for-profit organisations. When it comes to minimising unnecessary expenditure, we work with your internal team to pull every lever available to us.
4. Flexible Finance Options
Buying a single device or a small bundle of accessories won’t break the bank, but larger or more complex upgrades can stretch budgets. Utilising our network or our deep knowledge of the tech sector, we can source low or 0% APR financing to avoid the capital outlay associated with a full or partial refresh of your estate.
5. Full accountability
We take full responsibility for all the technology sourced via our IT procurement service. From manufacturer recalls to patching or EoL upgrades, we manage the whole process. We also handle supplier issues, returns and any other admin so you can focus on your business.

A Market-Leading R&D Function
