Driving Digital Intelligence, Integration, and Efficiency Across Public Sector Systems
Public sector CIOs face increasing pressure to modernise systems, manage data securely, and ensure technology delivers measurable value. Yet, with siloed platforms and fragmented procurement processes, IT leaders often lack the cross-department visibility they need to support smarter, connected decisions.
That’s where Be Connected bridges the gap between technology, procurement, and finance — turning data into strategic intelligence.
By consolidating contract, supplier, and spend information across authorities and departments, Be Connected empowers CIOs to see how technology investments align with financial and operational priorities, ensuring digital transformation truly delivers value-for-money.
Why CIOs Need Clearer Visibility Across Systems and Spend
Technology touches every department — but without oversight, duplication and inefficiency can go unnoticed. Be Connected provides the clarity CIOs need to ensure digital investments are efficient, aligned, and strategic:
- Identify duplicate software licences and service overlaps across departments
- Gain a single view of cloud, data centre, and digital service contracts
- Strengthen governance, compliance, and cybersecurity visibility
- Align technology spend trajectories with finance and procurement goals
- Support cross-department collaboration for shared infrastructure and savings
With Be Connected, CIOs can move from reactive system management to proactive digital leadership.

Smarter Technology Oversight
An NHS Trust using Be Connected identified overlapping cloud and data storage contracts across three departments, all with similar renewal dates.

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
