Zanzibar Managed Service

Zanzibar… more than a marketplace

Many government organisations are weighed down with routine purchasing of supplies and services. Manual procedures are costly, slow, opaque and error prone. Collaboration between public sector organisations is difficult and time consuming. Public sector organisations are under pressure to adopt electronic procurement quickly and generate more value by collaborating with other buyers in the public sector. Unfortunately, most electronic marketplaces are ill equipped to handle the unique needs of the public sector. They lack access to public sector collaborative contracts, have enabled a limited number of public sector suppliers, and in some cases do not possess the financial stability to ensure continuity of service for this critical function.

Zanzibar is different. Zanzibar is the UK public sector electronic marketplace delivered by ProcServe, and contracted by HM Treasury. By bringing together government contracts in a single platform, Zanzibar enables collaboration across all public sector buying organisations and provides access to the best pricing and transaction-ready suppliers. Through Zanzibar, buying organisations can transact with any of their suppliers, local or global, large or small, new or legacy. Zanzibar has been selected as the preferred government marketplace by HM Treasury after an extensive evaluation, including confirmation of the solution’s financial viability. As a result, public sector buying organisations can choose Zanzibar with confidence and are not required to go through a time consuming tender process. Tiered pricing terms and a development agenda that is led by public sector requirements ensures that Zanzibar provides not only superior value, but a future proof solution.

Zanzibar allows you to collaborate with other public sector organisations, leverage spend, and transact with suppliers on your terms.
