Drive Value, Oversight, and Efficiency Across Public Sector Procurement
Uncover hidden inefficiencies, prevent lost value, and ensure every contract delivers maximum ROI.
Public sector finance leaders face growing pressure to deliver value for money, ensure accountability, and reduce inefficiencies. Yet procurement teams can only act on the data they have visibility over.
That’s where Be Connected changes the game.
Unlike traditional systems or disconnected spreadsheets, Be Connected gives CFOs and Finance Directors a complete view of the contract landscape — surfacing hidden inefficiencies, duplications, and missed opportunities before they cost taxpayers more.
Why Finance Needs Oversight Beyond Procurement
- High-value contracts are delivering maximum return on investment
- Duplicate or rolling contracts are identified and addressed before renewal
- Opportunities for aggregation or collaboration aren’t missed
- Market intelligence, not just internal data, informs negotiations
What Be Connected Delivers for CFOs
- Identify cost-saving opportunities that procurement hasn’t yet uncovered
- Validate decisions by comparing internal plans against market intelligence
- Focus on high-value contracts for better value-for-money outcomes
- Discover aligned contracts across councils, trusts, and departments to unlock joint buying power
- Reduce dependence on consultants by accessing peer insights directly
- Track spend trajectories to predict risks and budget pressures

Turning Data Into Results
A council with a £300k annual mobile voice & data spend identified three other organisations with aligned renewals.
By collaborating, they achieved an average 23% saving per organisation — all without reducing service levels.
This is the power of CFO-led oversight: surfacing opportunities procurement alone might not reveal.

Hear What Our Customers Have to Say
Sarah Duffield
We used Be Connected to spot over 200 public sector energy contracts with high annual usage. The Advanced Search tool helped us target only the most commercially viable authorities. Combined with the support we received from the Be Connected team, we turned complex contract data into a real, practical sales strategy.
Emily Donoghue
The Be Connected platform made our outreach far more intelligent. We now prioritise based on contract expiry, not guesswork. Emily’s team focused on NHS Trusts and mid-size councils with over £100k in annual WAN spend. With the help of the Be Connected support team, we even built custom search logic that perfectly fit our campaign goals.
Tony Clarke
Tony used Advanced Search to quickly build a picture of where cyber contracts were either fragmented or extended too often. That gap in market discipline became our opportunity. “It gave us exactly what we needed to drive meaningful engagement.
Deborah Stallabrass
We didn't need a mountain of data — just the right slice. With Advanced Search, we zoomed in on authorities still running legacy WAN infrastructure and timed our approach around contract renewals. The Be Connected team were always on hand to adjust filters or send us ideas we hadn’t thought of.
Carmen Bury
A quick search for ‘telephony maintenance’ and some filters on region and renewal dates gave us a surprising number of live contracts with no clear replacement strategy. We jumped on it. Great tool, and the human support behind it is a big reason we’ve stuck with it.
Jon Sumner
Jon’s team used Advanced Search to map cloud migration patterns for ERP platforms. Instead of waiting for frameworks, they took a proactive approach — driven by Be Connected data on older, high-spend ERP systems that hadn’t moved to the cloud. It led to early conversations with several local authorities preparing to go to market.
Adam Goldthorpe
Be Connected gave us a shortlist of every authority with a WAN contract set to expire in the next 18 months. It was like having a dedicated research analyst plugged into our sales ops.
Katie Adebayo
Katie’s public sector team needed visibility on fragmented contact centre contracts — fast. Using Advanced Search, they filtered by contract extension history and spend level. What they found shaped their entire campaign, and they praised the Be Connected team for their “prompt support and useful context around market dynamics
