One size does not fit all when it comes to Fire & Rescue procurement; however, collaboration is integral to delivering meaningful and sustainable savings.
Collaboration means the same procurement is not repeated time and time again in different services — saving time as well as money.
Pool requirements across services to unlock buying power and recurring value.
Eliminate duplicate exercises and the admin that comes with each one.
See spend, suppliers and live contracts across the region in one view.
A consistent approach to procurement governance for every service involved.
Our technology allows Fire and Rescue services to gain visibility of transactions, supporting organisations as they move to a centralised approach to procurement.
Delta’s Contract Management solution complies with PCR 2015 Life-Cycle Costing. Not only does it give users full control over the cost and time implications for their contract, but it can be used across departments as it allows users to easily record, amend and view changes to contracts.
Regional portals, individual brigades and procurement consortia.
The North West Fire portal [which uses Delta eSourcing] went live in December 2011 — on time and to budget. It instilled confidence in us around the capability of the site and our ability to use it. BiP’s support is second to none and the service desk support team are very knowledgeable and friendly. The site itself is straightforward and intuitive to use, even allowing novices to post an exercise, which kept our training costs to a minimum.
