The public sector faces growing pressure to modernise procurement while maintaining compliance, controlling costs and integrating with complex legacy systems. As a thin-prime supplier to the public sector, we partner with Elcom to give our customers access to a modern, flexible SaaS ecosystem that supports the full procurement lifecycle.
Elcom’s role in our partner ecosystem
Elcom provides a broad portfolio of integrated solutions that support procurement and supply chain operations from sourcing and contractual through to purchase-to-pay and inventory management. Their ecosystem includes more than 20 solutions that can be deployed individually or combined to deliver an end-to-end procurement and supply chain environment. This allows Elcom to help each organisation address immediate operational challenges while building towards a more integrated, data-informed operating model.
Deep public sector experience
Elcom has long-standing experience across healthcare, central government, education and local government, working closely with public bodies to manage complex procurement and supply chain environments while maintaining transparency and compliance. One of their most established relationships is with the Scottish Government, where the PECOS purchase-to-pay (P2P) solution has supported procurement P2P activities, including purchasing, catalogue management and e-Invoicing across the Scottish public sector for over 20 years. This solution captures around £8.9 billion of annual procurement spend in Scotland. Their solutions are also well suited to blue-light services, transport bodies, defence and increasingly, housing, where digital procurement and asset management are growing priorities.
A consultative, integrated approach
Elcom’s consultative approach, which goes beyond software implementation to support long-term transformation and measurable operational improvement, delivers successful solutions. A key focus of the approach is ensuring new systems integrate smoothly with existing infrastructure, recognising that many public sector organisations operate complex technology estates that cannot simply be replaced. Elcom’s solutions are designed to work alongside these environments, helping organisations modernise and optimise processes without disrupting critical services.
A modular approach designed to evolve
Elcom’s modular approach lets organisations start small and scale. Individual capabilities such as analytics or catalogue management can be deployed to address specific needs or combined into a comprehensive procurement and supply chain ecosystem over time. This incremental, pragmatic model reflects how public sector organisations typically adopt technology, and gives Elcom’s customers confidence that today’s investment will continue to deliver value as their requirements evolve.
Working with Bramble Hub
Through our partnership with Elcom, we enable public sector organisations to quickly and compliantly access proven procurement technology via established frameworks, with the assurance of experienced implementation and ongoing support. By bringing together Elcom’s robust procurement ecosystem and our access to flexible public sector procurement routes, we enable organisations to modernise buying, strengthen governance, and deliver better outcomes for citizens.
