The SEG consortium completed a procurement activity in 2022 with MLL Telecom appointed Framework Supplier, and began providing services to initial partners within the East Sussex area. Built on a new joint infrastructure, capable of offering next generation speeds and services, the Framework offers a long-term solution for telecommunications services across the South East for all partner organisations to share.
The aim of the partnership is to achieve best value services for all organisations involved, through sharing of costs, removal of duplication and enabling collaborative sharing of building assets. This follows the approach set by the previous Link partnership, with the venture proving to be successful for all members involved.
The SEG Framework has a 15 year term, expiring in 2036, with eligible customers able to purchase services via the Framework within this period.
The SEG Framework is available for any public sector organisation in the South East region and is supported by the South East Grid for Learning who are using the Framework as a preferred route to access a range of network services for schools across its member authorities
