Cultura entrusts the energy management of its real estate to EFICIA
EFICIA is now referenced via SCC by the UGAP and its building energy management solution is available in the UGAP multi-publisher catalog.
This referencing is a new step in EFICIA’s development strategy and its ambitions to continue its expansion and increase its network of partners.
What is UGAP?
UGAP is a public industrial and commercial establishment (EPIC) placed under the supervision of two ministries (Economy and National Education). UGAP is a French public purchasing center and is the main organization to perform this function.
Because of its status as a central purchasing agency and because it operates on a purchase-for-resale basis, UGAP allows its contract holders to address the entire public procurement market through the signature of a single contract and to benefit from a reduction in their administrative, commercial and financial costs.
Why go through UGAP for a public contract
Going through the central purchasing office allows you to benefit from certain advantages:
Simplification of public procurement: UGAP takes care of the execution of orders and the relationship with suppliers, thus reducing the costs of procedures, deployment and management.
Legal security: the regulations relating to public procurement are respected
An immediate purchase: the public purchaser is exempt from advertising and competitive bidding procedures, regardless of the amount of the purchase
Contracts are notified
The central purchasing office provides a tool for making estimates and orders, and for tracking them online
