We’re not just a framework provider. We’re also able to provide customers with technical support pre, and post procurement.

Our Technical Partnerships team use their experience and skills to help our customers with a number of items to get you procurement ready.

We also offer support to customers with their contracts post-award. SEC can be on hand to attend pre-contract meetings and then yearly contract meetings thereafter. This helps to ensure that your contract once procured through us performs well from procurement to completion.

We’ve explained different aspects of out technical support in more detail below.
