The Network Services 2 agreement [RM3808] is the replacement framework for the NSF [RM1045] and legacy PSN Telephony Services frameworks. It provides customers with access to networks and telecommunication services.

Buying from Network Services 2 takes two forms:

• Direct Award
• Further Competition

Placing an order via Direct Award

Direct Award offers a quick and flexible way to buy products and services without the need to run a further competition. If you have a clear statement of requirements that will enable you to identify suitable catalogue requirements from suppliers, then you may be able to procure through Direct Award.

Benefits include:

• Reduced cost and reduced complexity
• Reduced procurement timeline, with the ability to place an order directly with your chosen supplier
• Safe, secure ordering
• Greater efficiency, through buying commoditised services directly from a supplier catalogue at market competitive rates, underpinned by public sector focused terms
