Why procure via OCRE?
The OCRE 2024 Framework is the latest iteration of the OCRE catalogue, which has provided access to Cloud solutions since 2021. It has helped accelerate the adoption of Cloud technology in the HE&I sector through simplified procurement processes and pre-agreed terms with providers.
Procuring Oracle Cloud services with DSP via OCRE has many advantages:
- Cost-effective pricing
- Reduce the complexity and time-consuming nature of in-house Cloud procurement.
- Peace of mind, knowing your Cloud provider has already been through a thorough selection process, which includes compliance, security and better legal conditions.
- A standard, pre-negotiated call-off contract.
- Data handling and storage that meets European and national regulations.
"The new system is at the heart of many key operational processes. A robust, scalable solution supports both planned revenue growth as well as delivering key operational efficiencies, such as the move from paper-based to online tenancies. The booking and maintenance system will be critical to Unite Students’ growth strategy."
