Welcome to our Summer Edition of the Public Sector Buyers’ Guide 2021. Few aspects of everyday life have been disrupted by Covid-19 as much as education. When schools first shut their doors last year, many institutions were unprepared for such a sudden shift to remote learning. In this edition of the Public Sector Buyers guide we outline how to embrace digital education after the pandemic, looking at the benefits of a long-term, hybrid education environment. St Leonards School needed a network solution to provide students with the best possible online teaching and learning, especially during the pandemic. Find out how our comprehensive solution enabled St Leonards to open up opportunities for pupils to learn independently and explore resources while staying safe online. We also consider data, a fundamental pillar of digitisation. The more a business understands about itself, its clients, and the markets it operates in, the better it will be able to identify efficiencies and act upon opportunities. In this edition we take a look at How data can deliver better public services. By collecting and analysing a greater volume and variety of information, public sector organisations can improve productivity and efficiency and even deliver entirely new types of service that were previously impossible or impractical. In this quarter’s edition, we showcase how we saved Ashford & St Peter’s NHS trust a healthy £400,000 with an innovative remote working Virtual Desktops solution. And if that wasn’t enough, we also highlight a number of great offerings from our partners. I am confident that the stories and solutions that we are able to share within this guide will help your organisation keep pace with the rapidly changing landscape.

Insight Article
Schools had mostly been aware of the benefits of digital learning, but many lacked the devices and platforms to make the modern classroom a reality at such short notice. But over the past year, schools have devoted significant time and resources into improving their digital learning capabilities and most are able to offer lessons and assignments remotely. Teachers now have much more experience and ideas of best practice. Technology is now just as essential to education as it is for communication, entertainment and work and although mass vaccinations will eventually allow for the return of some semblance of normality, many of the innovations are here to stay. Many school leaders believe digital education will have long-term benefits and that ‘blended education environments’ comprising physical and digital teaching elements will become commonplace.
Few aspects of everyday life have been disrupted by the pandemic as much as education. When schools first shut their doors last March, most institutions were unprepared for such a sudden shift to remote learning.
As with any other transformation project, there is no ‘one size fits all approach’ when it comes to the creation of a digital education platform. Solutions don’t need to be overly complicated, and an effective strategy can reduce the friction between online and offline teaching. Cloud-based tools and applications allow lessons to be livestreamed to remote students, complete with interactive features that improve engagement and effectiveness. Microsoft 365 Education includes Microsoft Teams with classroom experiences, alongside dedicated education security features and device management capabilities. Pupils can communicate and collaborate with teachers and friends in the classroom, while interactive elements such as audio, video and whiteboarding are possible. All these materials are stored in the cloud for revision purposes or so students can catch up. Services such as Intune for Education allow all laptops to be securely managed and Windows Autopilot allows for zero touch deployment. When Prior Park College pivoted to remote learning, Insight was able to deliver and configure 715 laptops for students and teachers to the school’s specifications, enabling students to continue their education while self-isolating. This minimised disruption to learning and saved the school’s IT team many hours of work. Upgrades to physical infrastructure might also be necessary. St Leonards, a leading independent school in Scotland, worked with Insight to deploy a new network to improve coverage across campus so teachers could use digital tools from the classroom to the sports field. Accessibility remains less of a challenge than it was during the first lockdown thanks to the efforts of schools, charities and telcos to provide students with connectivity and devices – but it remains a factor. Thanks to the diverse range of the Windows 10 ecosystem, there is a range of affordable devices that allows pupils to access digital learning resources. Insight’s 121 offering allows schools to obtain devices in a way that doesn’t impact budget, resources or infrastructure, as they are facilitated by parental payments, and all are managed by the school. The long-term transition to a blended education environment will continue to be a learning process for all involved. Training programmes can help make teachers more comfortable with the technology and improve processes. Meanwhile, best practices are being refined as schools, teachers and students become more familiar with digital learning tools.
Extra-curricular transformation
A blended education environment provides schools with greater flexibility to adapt to different circumstances and personalise education for individual needs. Pupils are encouraged to take more responsibility for their education, while students who are anxious or disaffected can be engaged more effectively. There’s no doubt that huge strides have been made over the past year, especially as many schools started from scratch, but there are many challenges that must be overcome. Some institutions still lack a clear remote learning strategy, lack the necessary digital infrastructure or suffer from a skills gap. According to a study by Ofsted, three in five teachers were ‘quite confident’ that their school’s remote solution was providing a high-quality education and just over half felt their approach was sustainable.1 On top of this, only 15% said they had managed to completely align their remote solution to the curriculum. [2] Teachers have also struggled. One third said they lacked confidence in teaching through a remote solution while teaching both physical and remote lessons had increased the workload for 86%.3
Ongoing challenges
Most remote education methods can be divided into two categories – ‘synchronous’ and ‘asynchronous’. Synchronous education refers to live lessons, including live chats, groupwork, and 1-2-1 sessions, while the asynchronous refers to pre-prepared materials such as pre-recorded lessons, presentations and worksheets that can be accessed at any time. The synchronous approach helps to keep students engaged and gives a feeling of continuity, as it follows a similar structure to the usual timetable, while the asynchronous method eases pressure on parents who might be working from home or looking after more than one child. Combining these two approaches can maximise the benefits of remote teaching. For example, live lessons can bring a whole class together and encourage interactivity, while offline assignments help guard against ‘online fatigue’. Advocates of blended education environments often cite the benefits leveraging live and non-live elements –and there are other benefits, too. Subject experts or supply teachers from anywhere around the world could livestream lessons in the event of staff shortages or sickness, and students suffering with anxiety could follow physical lessons or lectures remotely. Teachers would also be continue providing lessons in the event of a snow day, and pre-recorded lessons could both aid revision and allow students to catch up If they have been ill. Access to knowledge is democratised as a result. Digital education also offers more immediate feedback opportunities, with teachers able to see progress in real time and provide comments. Schools have also cited improvements to homework delivery as another benefit.

Chris Hall Head of Yeo ValleyPrimary School
"Thanks to this technology, a meeting between teachers in different schools cantake place. They share planning, they canshare resources—it’s huge. I’m not sure howwe would achieve what we’ve got without the technology.”
The education ecosystem is suffering from disruption on all points. Education professionals and students need a reliable, trustworthy solution that gives educators the power to teach in new ways, and that gives students equal access to a secure, robust virtual classroom. Microsoft Surface devices bring together analogue and digital worlds with a wide range of modes and inputs. Surface empowers educators with new ways to bring lessons to life, engage students, and improve the quality of teaching. It builds on traditional tools too, with innovations such as the Microsoft Classroom Pen that feel as natural as pen on paper.
Technology is enabling new remote teaching and learning environments.

School staff oversee WiFi usage patterns and set access permissions for users– keeping pupils safe from online threats.
Pupils can easily access online resources for their learning and entertainment.
WiFi coverage across all areas of the school allows innovative teaching and sports coaching methods.
Result Highlights
St Leonards School now has a network solution worthy of its world-class reputation for academic and sporting excellence. The school can add digital instruction to its unrivalled coaching programmes, and host interactive events in its beautiful school grounds. Pupils and teachers have high quality IT in their home and study spaces, and the children can access a world of learning resources with the security features to keep them safe. The addition of CCTV in the golf locker room also helps safeguard pupil’s property. A Cisco finance solution has maximised the school’s budget, giving them state-of-the art technology on an affordable basis and excellent ROI over a five-year term.
The Benefits
With its extensive experience in the independent education sector, Insight was the natural choice to work with St Leonards School. Following the initial consultation, it was clear that the solution had to enable a positive teaching and learning experience, ensure online security and deliver ease of management and reporting. Insight drew on its expertise in Cisco products to put together a comprehensive solution including LAN and wireless networks, malware protection and firewalls. The solution provides WiFi coverage across all the buildings on campus, the school grounds and sports fields and the student and staff boarding houses. As well as enhancing the learning experience in the classrooms and boarding areas, this allows coaches to use digital teaching methods in the sports field without losing connectivity. The security and control built into the solution enables the IT staff to monitor and control individual’s WiFi usage and keep students safe while online. To keep the solution up and running, the school needed at least a five-year lifetime on product support, so Insight negotiated 10 years’ support, plus one year free on the Meraki license. Insight also arranged Cisco finance, enabling the school to close its existing support contracts and spread the cost over a five-year term.
The Solution
As part of its commitment to providing students with the best possible online teaching and learning, St Leonards wanted to use digital interactive teaching tools in the classroom. However, its existing WiFi coverage was not up to the job. WiFi coverage within the school buildings and across its boarding houses was also poor, making it difficult for students to access resources for study and online resources. This was a particular concern for St Leonards as it is a boarding school and strives to give students and staff a home-from-home experience. In order to safeguard students, it was essential that mechanisms were in place for the school’s IT staff to be able to monitor the content that pupils were watching in their free time. Insight were able to provide this. As the pupils range from five to 18 years old, St Leonards wanted to be able to set access permissions and control WiFi access by age group, time of day and content viewed. The school was also looking for a CCTV solution that could easily be managed by the IT and security teams.

With the right technologies, strategy and support, the public sector is well-placed to harness the full potential of data. Find out how Insight can help your organisation maximise its information assets through cloud infrastructure and powerful analytics.
But these benefits are not only applicable to private businesses. Public sector agencies can also use data to maximise available resources and design and deliver better quality services to citizens. By collecting and analysing a greater volume and variety of information, public sector organisations can improve productivity and efficiency and even deliver entirely new types of service that were previously impossible or impractical.
Data is a fundamental pillar of digitisation. The more a business understands about itself, its customers, and the markets it operates in, the better it will be able to identify efficiencies and act upon opportunities.
But digitisation is as much about culture as it is technology and it is vital that public sector organisations, many of whom will have entrenched practices, are all on the same page. Staff training, and a user adoption strategy are essential to ensure employees embrace new ways of working. It’s also important to take standardised approach to the collection and curation of data, so it is of the highest quality possible. Equally, a commitment to security and privacy is critical to address public trust concerns. Just 9% of people feel the government has their best interests at heart when it comes to data sharing and only 15% believe public organisations would deal well with a security incident [2]. To engage citizens, authorities should be transparent about how they are using data, ensure data is protected at all times and ensure compliance with all necessary legislation such as GDPR. Ethical considerations should also be factored into any strategy, especially when it comes to AI. Much of the data handled by the public sector is extremely sensitive and a breach would lead to a catastrophic loss of trust and potentially hefty fines from regulators. The cloud is a more secure architecutre than on-premise infrastructure thanks to the investments made by vendors, while Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technologies ensure data can only be accessed by approved users and devices.
A new culture
Many public sector organisations are already reaping the benefits of data access and analysis – the above examples merely scratch the surface of what is possible. But to realise this data-driven future, public sector organisations need to overcome several challenges first. The most obvious is technology. The public sector has long been burdened with legacy IT systems that are not interoperable, meaning data cannot be easily accessed by other organisations or applications. Such systems severely limit data sharing and flexibility, while also incurring significant costs that could be used on more modern architecture. In fact, 45% of all IT spend in the public sector is spent on legacy IT [1]. The cloud provides a more suitable foundation for data collection and management. Multiple users and applications can access data assets, allowing organisations to mix and match the best tools for their needs. Intuitive monitoring tools improve visibility over workloads, while analytics platforms and intelligent algorithms have access to a richer pool of information. By both freeing up money and resources and enabling new capabilities, cloud infrastructure can directly improve the quality of public services.
Technological shift
Aside from assisting frontline workers, data can feed into advanced analytics platforms that can identify efficiencies and improve and aid the provision of vital public services that people rely on for their everyday lives. For example, the analysis of data on how a local council communicates with citizens can identify the optimum contact channel for a particular service. Perhaps a chatbot is more useful for providing information on garden recycling, but an email is more appropriate for a council tax refund. Information on engagement and social media sentiment can help personalise and optimise service delivery. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can go even further by offering predictions of what might happen in the future. If you collect enough data, you can use predictive analytics to identify faults in infrastructure before they occur or spot trends in public health data that can identify potential spikes in hospital admissions and take preventative action. As towns and cities gradually become more connected through the Internet of Things, even more data will become available for analysis. Smart traffic systems will optimise transportation in a city centre, while smart waste bins will send alerts when they need to be collected – reducing unnecessary journeys.
Data-driven services
Data is the fuel that enables new cloud and mobile applications to transform existing processes and enable entirely new ways of working. And secure access to data through the cloud can augment the capabilities of an organisation’s most important resource – it’s people. Police officers, for example can use connected devices to access information, livestream video or file reports without returning to the station, while paramedics can relay information to the hospital while a patient is still in an ambulance. Meanwhile, immersive applications powered by Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) will enable more efficient ways of working. For example, Alder Hey Children’s hospital is using Microsoft HoloLens to allow multiple medical practitioners to combine their expertise while only one of them is actually in the room – whether on a ward round or in surgery.

The Trust spent 60% less time managing staff computers.
Quickly implementing the solution meant minimal disruption to hospital operations.
Over £400,000 saved in upfront costs for physical infrastructure.
400 staff at Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are now working safely and securely from home
Staff at Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are now able to work from home, using their own devices, keeping social contact between staff to a minimum. The Windows Virtual Desktops provide the best virtualised experience that is fully optimised for Windows 10 and Office 365, with built-in intelligent security to the keep The Trust’s applications and data secure. The solution was put in place in less than four weeks– roughly half the time that a traditional remote working solution would have taken to implement. The Trust saved over £400,000 on potential upfront costs and was able to avoid long-term licencing commitment.
After the initial consultation and agreement, Insight approached its partner, Concorde Technology Group, to arrange implementation. Despite the high demand for remote working solutions, less than four weeks after the Trust’s initial call to Insight, the solution was in place. The Azure-hosted WVD environment avoids the need for expensive on-site hardware. There is no upfront capital expenditure or long-term financial commitment, and the Trust has the flexibility to scale the solution up and down. Staff access their Windows 10 virtual desktops with two factor authorisation – meeting the industry standard requirements for security. Windows’ built-in management and security features save time on administration, making it easier to perform tasks like granting access to other healthcare organisations, or applying software updates.
When Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust needed to enable key workers to work from home, it turned to Insight, a trusted partner of nine years standing, for help. When previously faced with a similar problem on a smaller scale, the Trust had supplied staff with laptops for working from home – but procuring, configuring and delivering machines for 400 employees would have taken far too long. Insight suggested using Microsoft’s Azure Windows Virtual Desktop solution. This approach enabled the Trust’s employees to securely connect to an optimised cloud based Windows 10 desktop and applications environment, with access to on-premises data from their own devices. This solution had never been adopted by an NHS health trust in the south of England before.
In February 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s staff were working in open plan offices with shared facilities. Social distancing was next to impossible, so the trust needed to enable its 400 employees to work from home rapidly. St Peter’s Hospital had also begun taking in COVID patients, making the need for a remote working solution even more urgent. To relieve the pressure caused by the influx of COVID-19 patients, some of St Peter’s services were moved to Ashford. This move led to staff working across different sites on different days – so the Trust also needed to enable employees to access their computers from wherever they were located. The Trust wanted to put the solution in place within a few weeks. It was initially looking at traditional options that would have taken upwards of five weeks to implement, cost upwards of £400,000 in hardware and required a long-term licensing commitment. The Trust urgently needed a way to speed up the process and avoid alarge upfront capital expenditure.
CASE STUDY | Healthcare
Morne Beck, Head of IT, Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
“Insight’s solution was a win-win for Ashford and St Peters. It solved our immediate problem of how to enable staff to work from home without major capital expenditure – and now it’s in place we’re seeing a 60% reduction in the time spent updating and managing staff computers. The ongoing savings give us money to spend on patient care.”
Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides acute hospital services for patients in Surrey. When it was looking for a way to enable 400 employees to work from home, Insight’s recommended Microsoft’s Azure Windows Virtual Desktop. The Trust achieved its goal within weeks and avoided around £400,000 in hardware costs.

MIST Overview
Introduction to Juniper’s AI-Driven Enterprise
WATCH THE WEBINAR
Our use of open standards not only avoids vendor lock-in but facilitates the integration of both new and legacy technologies, helping you advance digital transformation while maximising returns on investments. And our five-nines availability assures mission-critical services and the smooth running of government. Juniper Networks is one of the world’s leading providers of networking equipment and services to government. Our clients include central government, military, and security agencies around the world. Our network services will enable your government organisation to provide simple, smart, and secure public services.
Juniper Networks supports some of the world’s most critical environments. For government agencies around the globe, we deliver to mission-critical demands for agile, trusted, and high-performance operating environments. Our networks make it easy for you to use actionable insights to automate intelligent decisions, helping you deliver more personalised services that increase citizen engagement and staff efficiency. We have integrated virtual Bluetooth low-energy technology with our Wi-Fi capabilities, making it practical for government organisations to offer smart, location-aware services that make public buildings safer and more user friendly for both staff and citizens.
Building a secure and connected future
Juniper Networks
Having more control over security lets you open the network to the people you want using it. You can offer guest Wi-Fi at government buildings or use public cloud services without worrying about security. The network is accessible to genuine users but closed to those with malicious intent. Application performance is never degraded, service experience is always consistent, and critical national services never go down. As a result, citizens trust and engage more actively with government. .
A Juniper network improves the security, resilience, and consistency of government services, strengthening citizen confidence and reducing operational costs. We offer a threat-aware network that employs AI to automatically monitor, predict, and prevent any kind of cyberattack on your infrastructure, applications, or data. Security automation allows you to deploy new security measures in real time as services are scaled or new threats are detected. Our networks are simple for genuine users to access, letting you manage the access layer in minute detail by applying access policies to individual users, devices, and ports. We can even alert you if a user exhibits unusual behavior like logging in from a different device or location.
Detect threats, automate security enforcement, and build trust
Secure
Flexible mobile network connections enable location services that are invaluable when coordinating an incident response. Our software-defined networks can be set up rapidly, remotely, and with zero-touch provisioning to support crisis management operations such as a temporary medical facility. At an operational level, our networks use AI to monitor and manage themselves automatically, analysing their performance, predicting potential issues, and taking action to avoid incidents, freeing your staff to focus on more valuable work such as service innovation.
Our intelligent, application-aware networks enable you to deliver better user and citizen experiences that build engagement and trust. We use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse network data, yielding actionable insights that can be used to adjust existing services in real time or inform the development of new services in the future. By combining Bluetooth low energy technology with your Wi-Fi network, you can provide location-based services like wayfinding in public buildings. This makes public spaces easier to navigate, more secure, and more pleasant for staff to work in and for citizens to visit. It also provides insights into space utilisation, allowing you to optimise facilities and reduce energy consumption.
Deliver better experiences more quickly and efficiently
Smart
They also mean you are never locked in to one vendor, reducing commercial and operational risks. Secure by design and protected by continuous automated threat monitoring and response, our networks safeguard your applications and data, allowing you to maintain service performance, consistency, and availability. Role-based access makes it easier for you to manage who and what is on your network. Automated policy control allows access to be assigned at the departmental level but controlled centrally. Automating routine monitoring and maintenance tasks frees your people up to focus on more valuable work. And since our networks take less effort to manage, they are more cost-efficient to operate.
Juniper networks provides you with an easier way to manage the complexity of modernisation. It offers a unified platform, with common protocols across all segments and centralised policy control, letting you streamline operations and accelerate digital transformation. Our micro-services architecture and software-defined networking capabilities give you the agility to spin-up and flex services dynamically, helping you to keep pace with citizen expectations. Based on data gathered from the network, applications, and users, configuration can be automated, accelerating deployment and ensuring adherence to policies. Open standards make systems integration and data exchange easier, resulting in seamless and more engaging user and citizen experiences.
Manage complexity, drive transformation, and stay in control
Simple
To rise to this challenge, you need a technology foundation upon which you can execute your strategy. You need a network which allows you to consistently deliver mission-critical applications and services. Technology should make it easier to manage complexity and innovate intelligent experiences for the future. Services should be accessible to citizens and users, yet secure and compliant with legal regulations and governmental policy. Juniper's approach is to provide simple, smart, and secure networks that fulfill your strategic goals, both today and in the future. Our networks are protected by automated security to defend against fast-changing cybersecurity threats, ensuring five nines availability for mission-critical government services. Open standards simplify system integration and avoid vendor lock in, ensuring both technical and commercial flexibility. The artificial intelligence built into our networks yields actionable insights that drive continuous improvement of user and citizen experiences. A modern microservices architecture lets you deploy and adapt network services on demand, dynamically optimising user and citizen experiences in real time.
Government policy stipulates responsible use of data to ensure more intelligent user and citizen services. We can help you to modernise by integrating emerging and legacy technologies into a flexible, open, yet secure foundation on which to build and develop innovative new services. We are also aware of the challenges you face in executing government strategy. You need to manage public services that are highly complex by nature, and you need to find an efficient way of doing so. There can be no disruption to essential national services that are used daily, so any innovation must be achieved seamlessly. And through all this, you must remain agile and responsive to any changes or crises that arise in this unpredictable socio -political environment.
Juniper Networks understands the government’s need to modernise public services. We recognise the importance of providing better citizen and user experiences, both physical and digital, that increase engagement and trust. We realise that you are expected to reliably deliver mission-critical applications and services, and we appreciate you need to achieve this cost effectively.

No longer any need to waste valuable time and effort managing networks and connected devices, even across multiple sites. Centralise network management in one easy step.
Focus on what matters
Power-up devices when needed, power-down when not: great for LED lighting, surveillance, and Wi-Fi. Choose wireless access points with better capacity and reach: do more with less. Add in PoE and even save on electrical installation and power consumption.
Smart wireless saves money
Support digital signage in waiting rooms or for wayfinding. Transmit across HD image systems, up to 10Gb connectivity.
HD images and digital signage
Connect surveillance cameras simply: even use PoE to power them to as much as 100 metres away. Use wireless to securely connect to data storage: keep patient data safe, without needing to run extra cables.
Surveillance and storage
Reliable wireless in even the most densely populated areas, such as busy waiting rooms: capacity for everyone to log-on. Have separate, secure Wi-Fi networks for staff, patients and visitors.
Digital density no problem
Reliable connectivity across the entire site, ideal for clinics, even as much as a mile away. Keep doctors and nurses connected to Wi-Fi as they move from ward to ward. Use easy Wi-Fi expansion to overcome dead-spots or support temporary sites.
Wide area coverage
Keep networks in good physical condition:
Teams that are busy looking after patients or essential admin want connectivity that provides an always-on, consistent, stable and fast experience. It also has to be flexible, affordable and able to cope with their increasing daily demands. Connectivity needs to ‘just work’. The latest in wireless (and switching) technology meets all those needs. Plus, for resellers and VARs, there’s also the growing opportunity to support customers in healthcare, even in a completely remote way if required. NETGEAR has extensive experience in the healthcare market and is here to help healthcare professionals, VARs and resellers make the most of what wireless has to offer: secure, flexible, affordable, easy-to-use and reliable products and services, with excellent performance and support.
The healthcare profession depends on reliable connectivity more than ever. It’s vital in helping hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, dental practices and other care centres manage their day-to-day schedules.

Social value is becoming increasingly important for all organisations. Being a key supplier to our clients and being part of their supply chain means that we take our obligations seriously and it is in our nature and DNA as an organisation to support our clients and the communities they serve. Insight live and breathe our core values of Hunger, Heart and Harmony every day. As part of the contract we often commit to using local subcontractors wherever possible, we can support SME’s with the contract management and governance that may be challenging for them but is an everyday occurrence for a global business such as Insight. This is one way we can help clients in supporting the local economy in addition to the other peripheral benefits of reduced travel which help from an environmental perspective. This is just one example of where we are trying to make a difference. We are currently reviewing our delivery of social value, as we recognise this as being vitally important to our clients, the public and fundamental to Insight. We are citizens too and also want what’s best for our local areas, as such we want to improve the positive impact Insight can make in this area.
Social and economic value is becoming a real imperative for Public Sector organisations, how are your corporate objectives supported by this type of contract?
........
I firmly believe that Insight operate with integrity and live by our core values as a business. My team and I stand by these values and the fact that we are on so many public sector frameworks is testament to how key the UK public sector market is to Insight. We have many local government and police clients who have trusted Insight for well over a decade and our business grows significantly year on year as more and more customers realise the value in working with us, and the closer you work with Insight, the more value we all get out of the relationship too, it is reciprocal. To echo David’s testimonial above, the partnerships and relationships between Insight and our clients are built around being mutually successful.
Do you have a final note on why public sector organisations should be looking to Insight as their ‘go to’ partner?
David Holbrook Senior Category Manager – IT Yorkshire & the Humber Police Forces
Over the past 12 months our clients have had to procure vast amounts of technology hardware, software, consultative services and logistical services. This has enabled their users to work remotely or in an agile manner, whilst still maintaining delivery of high levels of citizen centric services to the public across local authorities and policing. Our clients have had to manage the sourcing, procurement, storage and distribution of IT kit to support their end-users locally, but as a national operation Insight can offer scale for our clients, scale that they simply don’t have. Having the contract in place with Insight meant that our clients didn’t need to come out to the market every time they had an additional requirement, meaning internal procurement staff could be utilised on other projects around other immediate requirements, such as the vaccination roll out. Our clients didn’t have to worry about storage of kit or the delivery, as this is something Insight do every day. The speed that our contracted clients could source and receive the required equipment was far quicker, therefore, with Insights support our clients were able to deliver resources required by their end-users and reduce the impact on the public service delivery.
In these challenging times with the global pandemic and reducing budgets, how has having a direct supply contract with Insight assisted your clients?
“As a regional collaboration of police forces, we have been partnered with Insight since September 2019. During that time, we have built an excellent working relationship built around being mutually successful. Through creating this partnership with Insight, we have been able to change the ways of working both in a procurement perspective and how the technical teams operate. The obvious benefits achieved are in the form of savings to our forces and Insight have been very proactive in working with vendors to create bid pricing on behalf of all forces. They have also negotiated significant cost reductions on specific projects with key vendors and have offered numerous added value services such as stockholding facilities in their secure warehouse and asset tagging services”.
By having these contracts in place, procurement, IT and Insight are enabled to work collaboratively, without the worry that any procurement regulations are infringed, as the contract is already agreed and in place. This promotes early engagement in the planning and design phases of a project, as well as early engagement with vendors. Utilising our experience, Insight can work with all the stakeholders to drive the projects costs down, as well as identify opportunities to disrupt the traditional thinking from a technical or delivery perspective, helping clients to look at new ways of working and understanding the ‘art of the possible’. Sometimes, this is simply helping realise ROI on outsourcing basic services such as configuration and integration, in other instances, this could be identifying emerging technologies from a vendor that automates or improves citizen delivered services, or bringing software tools that positively impact decision making and longer term technology strategies, that are incumbent in the IT governance process for our clients. Ultimately, one of the most tangible values that is relevant for those responsible for public spending, is real cost savings. We prove time and again that we can deliver this for our clients via our well-defined supply chain contracts. Don’t take our word for it either; David Holbrook (Senior Category Manager – IT – Yorkshire & the Humber Police Forces) shared this with us recently:
Regarding the tangible value clients can realise, do you have any examples?
We are seeing a growing trend within our public sector client base, of police forces and local authorities, who are awarding single supplier contracts for technology supply chain. These contracts, sometimes under the terms and conditions of an existing framework such at MINT or H T E ComIT, give customers the transparency, flexibility and benefits of a true partnership when working with suppliers to manage their IT and tech supply be it; hardware, software or services. These relationships drive real value for our clients in maximising their IT budgets and delivering tangible cost savings. They help challenge the ‘status-quo’ in terms of incumbent technology vendors or traditional ways of working and assist in driving real innovation and transformation. Additionally, procurement processes are accelerated - this was very apparent in the recent pandemic response, where our contracted clients could get their agile working projects off the ground much sooner than those clients, who needed to go out to tender or RFQ.
