Sync secures GBP £6 billion ICT framework with HeathTrust Europe
Manchester-based technology specialist Sync has secured a pivotal position on HeathTrust Europe's esteemed Enterprise Level Information Communication Technology (ICT) Solutions Technology Framework. This notable achievement places Sync among just eleven suppliers selected for the 2023 Digital Technology Framework Agreement, often referred to as ComIT 3 (Complete IT 3), which has an upper value limit of GBP £6 billion.
This framework is open to various sectors, encompassing education, central and local government, healthcare, and emergency services. It facilitates the procurement of a vast array of IT hardware, software, cybersecurity, and technology-assisted services.

Chief Sales Officer at Sync, Tom Crump, expressed his enthusiasm about the inclusion: "To be one of just eleven suppliers joining the new ICT Solutions 2023 Framework is an incredible honour and is a testament to the work of the team at Sync. This means that Sync will be on hand to provide digital solutions to local and national councils, healthcare providers, emergency services, schools, and many more organisations in need of support."
Crump further emphasised the importance of leveraging technology to improve working practices across business, education, and public sectors, with a focus on cost savings and efficiency enhancements. This new framework agreement aligns with Sync's commitment to supporting organisations through technological advancement and resource optimisation.
