Bloom (Nepro3) Procurement Framework - What Public Sector Organisations should know

I speak with many delivery leaders across central government on a weekly basis about procurement options, but I’m surprised just how many have never heard of the Nepro3 procurement framework which is managed by Bloom. Entasis Partners are accredited partners of Bloom so I thought I’d write a little about Nepro3 Bloom and how it could offer an excellent option to public sector organisations to access exceptional talent for their delivery teams.

The Nepro3 Bloom is a fully compliant procurement framework which assists all UK public sector organisations and agencies to buy and manage specialist professional services from a choice of regional and national suppliers like us at Entasis Partners. It allows buyers to move quickly and at the lowest possible cost, whilst achieving better outcomes.

Bloom is a solution designed to streamline and enhance the procurement process for organisations by integrating advanced technologies and best practices to deliver a comprehensive procurement strategy. It results in driving efficiency, cost savings, and improved supplier relationships with consultancies like Entasis Partners.
