EE to Provide Fixed Line Services

The Framework, formally referred to as RM1035, forms part of the Government’s ICT strategy to migrate public sector organisations to next generation services under the Public Services Network. It enables government departments and local authorities to find cost savings and efficiencies by procuring services from a list of approved providers.
