OGCbuying.solutions announced today that Dotted Eyes is to be an accredited supplier on the Geographic Information Services and Solutions (GISS) Catalist framework agreement.
OGCbuying.solutions, part of HM Treasury, shortlisted ten UK suppliers following a rigourous tender process in accordance with EU procurement procedures.
“We’re delighted to have been appointed as Catalist framework agreement suppliers for the next four years”, says Jamie Justham, Managing Director of Dotted Eyes. “Fewer companies made the grade this year, so we are delighted that our ethos of offering quality products and services at cost-effective prices has stood us in good stead. Half our business already comes from the public sector, and we look forward to building on this still further.”
Duncan Hill, Commercial Director, adds, “Dotted Eyes has experienced a record year of growth, supported by our largest intake of new employees, and this is the icing on the cake for us. The tender process for Catalist can be onerous for medium sized businesses, but we persevered and we are now celebrating our success.”
