Untangling Public Sector Data: How Be Connected Delivers Effective and Valuable Insights
Untangling public sector data has become a pressing challenge for organisations navigating the complexities of procurement. Public sector organisations generate vast amounts of data, but much of it remains fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to use effectively. This tangled web of information often leads to missed opportunities for collaboration, cost savings, and informed decision-making.
At Procure Tools, we recognised this issue and developed Be Connected – a business intelligence platform designed to untangle public sector data and provide actionable insights.
The Challenges of Tangled Data
Procurement practitioners face several challenges when dealing with public sector data:
- Fragmented Sources
Each organisation maintains its own contract registers, procurement pipelines, and spend data, often in varying formats with inconsistent levels of detail. - Missed Opportunities
Without a unified view, it’s difficult for organisations to identify opportunities to aggregate spend or collaborate with others. - Time-Consuming Analysis
Searching for relevant data manually can take hours, leaving little time for strategic planning and optimisation.
How Be Connected Untangles Public Sector Data
- Centralised Repository
Be Connected consolidates over 1,000 public sector contract registers into one searchable platform. This centralisation provides unparalleled visibility across the procurement landscape. - Advanced Search and Filters
Users can filter data by supplier, contract value, renewal dates, and specific regions or sectors, making it easier to identify opportunities for collaboration or cost savings. - Dynamic Insights
Our platform goes beyond raw data, delivering insights such as identifying contracts expiring within 24 months or bench marking supplier performance. These insights empower organisations to leverage their purchasing power effectively. - Tailored to Public Sector Needs
Be Connected is specifically designed for public sector procurement, addressing unique challenges such as collaborative frameworks and commercial strategies.
The Value of Untangled Data
By untangling public sector data, Be Connected offers public sector organisations the ability to:
- Save Costs: Identify aggregation opportunities and benchmark spend data to negotiate better deals.
- Enhance Collaboration: Highlight shared procurement needs to foster partnerships across organisations.
- Make Informed Decisions: Use data-driven insights to plan strategically and achieve better outcomes.
Real-World Impact
In a recent demonstration, a user exploring a niche software contract utilised Be Connected to uncover 27 other public sector organisations using the same software. This insight enabled the user to benchmark costs, share best practices, and explore collaborative opportunities, saving time and resources while driving greater value.
