KEY INFORMATION
Open (The complete technology solution for your e-Procurement)
STATUS - Active
REFERENCE - NEPO518
Open is the new fully integrated e-procurement solution, designed and developed by NEPO and powered by AWS.
Open is a streamlined system that simplifies the carrying out of public sector procurement in a compliant way, delivering value to both buyers and suppliers.
Why use Open?
From pre-procurement activity through to contract management, data is the driver of Open, providing a single source of truth for buyers and asking for information from suppliers just once. Enriched by third-party sources, we will continually develop the solution to meet the needs of the users, remaining flexible and ensuring value for money.
The solution will provide greater insights, meaningful and reliable data, improved visibility and transparency, enhanced stakeholder engagement and unlock potential benefits across commissioning and procurement for all stakeholders.
Serving the North East and Beyond
Open supports NEPO, the twelve North East local authorities, and wider public sector procurement beyond the region.
Essex County Council and the Essex Procurement Partnership are the first organisations outside the North East to choose Open to manage their strategic eProcurement needs. This milestone demonstrates Open’s ability to support ambitious, progressive public sector procurement across the country.
Built with stakeholders in mind, Open helps unlock new ways of working and supports a stronger focus on delivering the best outcomes for public sector procurement.
Whether you are a public sector buyer or a supplier interested in doing business with the public sector, Open is designed to help you achieve your goals.
