How does CIAPS help public sector clients?
The CIAPS database is totally web-enabled because clients need simple, fast and structured access to the company information when preparing frameworks and/or invitations to tender. Clients are able to browse, search or download company information and, electronically invite responses to specific questions from individual or groups of companies. The CIAPS database also allows real time updating online by companies and certification bodies. There are two levels of access open to clients. The first is a simple ‘search and contact’ facility. The second level allows a client to compare companies’ complete portfolios and download information as required. As the website has very intuitive navigation the resultant savings in administrative burden are profound and substantial cost savings may be secured.
