Opdrachtencentrale has recently completed an important public tender. The first lot of this framework focuses on hiring external ICT experts through an MSP platform. The result: ProUnity has been selected as the exclusive partner to deliver this service to all members of Opdrachtencentrale.
Opdrachtencentrale is a Belgian purchasing centre that supports public organisations in simplifying and accelerating their procurement processes. Members – such as local authorities, public welfare centres, universities, hospitals and emergency zones – no longer need to draft and run complex tenders themselves. Thanks to the framework agreement, they can immediately access solutions that have already been set up in full compliance with public procurement law.
Membership of Opdrachtencentrale is free and straightforward.
Why ProUnity?
ProUnity is a Belgian HR-tech company with more than 10 years of experience. Its unique strength lies in combining three essential components:
- VMS (Vendor Management System): a digital platform that covers the entire process, from job request to invoicing.
- MSP (Managed Service Provider): a team of experts who guide members through every step of the hiring process.
- Marketplace: a marketplace with access to more than 10,000 freelancers and 2,000 suppliers.
Today, ProUnity already supports over 80 clients and more than 4,000 external professionals.
What does this mean for members?
- No separate tender required: everything happens within the framework agreement.
- Fast onboarding: depending on complexity, a new member can go live in as little as 1 to 4 weeks.
- Guaranteed compliance: framework agreements and audits ensure everything is fully aligned with legislation.
- Efficiency and transparency: all stakeholders are integrated into one process, with clear roles, invoicing flows and reporting.
How does onboarding work?
For existing Opdrachtencentrale members, the process is extremely simple: they can immediately contact ProUnity and start. New members go through a short registration process. They then receive an accession letter, after which the implementation phase begins.
During this phase, user roles are defined, workflows are configured, and training sessions are provided so that the organisation can smoothly start hiring and managing external ICT experts.
Why choose this framework agreement?
- Total relief: administrative complexity and legal risks are taken away.
- Access to innovation: beyond traditional procurement, organisations benefit from the latest digital solutions.
- More talent: the marketplace offers continuous access to a broad and diverse pool of ICT professionals.
- Control and transparency: organisations maintain full visibility and control of their spending at all times.
