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.
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.

Sharon Matthews, Lead Officer for the Regional Procurement Team, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service:
“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 helpdesk 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.”

“Derby Homes have been using Delta eSourcing for a number of years now. The system is comprehensive, straightforward and reliable; expired procurement’s are well archived; the members of staff that we have dealt with have all been very professional and helpful, and their additional support in helping us to bring about a successful Supplier Open Day recently was invaluable.”
“E-act have been using the Delta E-sourcing platform for 2 years. The system itself is very intuitive, minimal user training is required. The helpdesk are always on hand for any queries that do arise. We intend to roll this out to the wider business ASAP so they can also reap the rewards! The platform itself is very transparent, it also allows us to centralise information, whilst retaining local ownership where required.”
“Since adopting the Delta eSourcing suite 18 months ago, Delta has proved to be a user friendly and cost effective electronic tendering system. Offering excellent value for money, the functionality has enabled the University to streamline procedures, increase transparency and empower key stakeholders.”
