Zanzibar - The eMarketplace Solution for UK Government

Zanzibar logo

Zanzibar is the UK Government's strategic collaborative electronic marketplace and eInvoicing system. By bringing together the very best value government contracts in one place, together with providing simple to use purchasing tools and a real-time management information system, Zanzibar opens the door to commodity procurement deals and transparency across the public sector helping it to meet the challenges of the current economic climate.

Zanzibar achieves this using leading edge technology and business processes that enable organisations, of whatever size and complexity, to quickly deliver and report on procurement activity and savings. Available via a government-wide framework agreement, it is delivered to contracted service levels with full HMG security accreditation and business continuity provisions.

The solution is used by many public-sector organisations including the Department for Work and Pensions, the Crown Prosecution Service and underpins a number of government-wide strategic programmes such as the Department for Education's OPEN programme for schools and xchangewales eTrading.

To find out more about how Zanzibar can help you deliver savings and transparency, please contact us on +44(0) 207 881 3445 or by email to info@procserve.com.

quoteProcurement has to be able to demonstrate that it is able to influence 100% of its organisation’s spend. If it can’t then there is little chance of Procurement being seen as relevant in future or of it being able to drive value from over £200bn worth of third party spend. There is a much better chance of achieving this by working together. I am certain that there are the right people in sufficient numbers in the public sector to do this but they have to be focussed upon the right things.quote
