Rapid is a supplier that is fully integrated within the following eProcurement platforms: Advanced (Science Warehouse), Proactis, CloudBuy, Jaggaer, Basware and PECOS.
If you already use any of these eProcurement providers you will be able to order from Rapid via a fully integrated punch out system and marketplace. If you are new to eProcurement, the benefits are considerable.
Better pricing due to access to designated supplier frameworks
Access to national, regional and consortia pricing contracts
Online ordering integrated within your own procurement system
E-Invoicing
E-Procurement is a more efficient and cost-effective way to order goods and services. Suppliers are listed in each eProcurement system through a network of framework agreements, in which they are awarded preferred supplier status for specific product ranges or ‘Lots’.
For example, Rapid is a preferred supplier for all four Lots in the current National Universities Working Party on Electronic Components - Lot 1: Electronic Components and Service Aids; Lot 2: Tools and Fixings; Lot 3: Test and Measurement; Lot 4: Equipment and Batteries. This agreement runs until 2023. We are also proud to be an approved supplier for Lot 6 (Glass Consumables) within the IRLA (Inter Regional Laboratory Agreement) for Laboratory Consumables and Chemicals and for Lot 1 (Fine Art, Graphic & Crafting Materials) in the NEUPC (North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium) Arts & Crafts Materials Framework.
