Description
Provision of the Power Framework System and associated support as well as project days included in the purchase of the software. This package has been in place at the AMRC (University of Sheffield) and is integral to the everyday running of the University so cannot be replaced. This has previous been provided by Program Framework who solely own and provide this software, hence why this has been directly awarded to them via the G-cloud 13 framework.
