Communications
access2gov has been specifically established to assist the public sector and its service providers in working together to improve procurement efficiency and achieve a more effective Government.
Public sector organisations are increasingly looking to innovate and cast the net wider for solutions to the problems they face. Several have created internal innovation teams, but the ideas which emerge and the knowledge gained from their implementation are rarely shared beyond the organisation itself.
There is much being done by SMEs, larger firms and the Third Sector to apply emerging new technologies to solve real-world problems. Sometimes, these organisations pitch their solutions to the public sector, only to struggle to find the right decision-makers, or fall at procurement hurdles.
The main aim of access2gov is to narrow the gap between the public sector and its service providers by offering a comprehensive range of products and services from powerful business information and promotion to assistance and guidance for anyone involved in the public sector procurement process.
access2gov is part of the Ten Alps PLC group of companies. With over 600 unique publications, 104 websites, a range of e-books and specialist internet hosted sites, Ten Alps Communications sells, provides and manages factual content to every outlet that audiences and advertisers use – on line, on TV and in print, with over 61,000 advertisers across our output.
Our roots are in contract publishing, providing magazines, directories and guides for Central and Local Government clients across health, utilities, transport, construction, commerce, finance, leisure, education and information technology.
We have offices in Macclesfield, London, Gateshead, Edinburgh, Fareham and Manchester where our access2gov operation is based.
Delivering Government Innovation
Ten Alps launched Public TV, a unique public and private sector initiative which has grown from an initial 15 sector specific channels, to in excess of 300 channels providing a video content database for professionals in the public and private sectors.
Funded via the Department for Children Schools and Families, Ten Alps Teachers TV now boasts a catalogue of over 3000 programmes supporting the professional development of anyone working in school, enabling them to widen their skills, develop their practice, and connect with others in the field.
Ten Alps' award winning company dbda leads the field in specialised educational and CSR communications online. The children's Traffic Club has helped over 2 million members keep safe when out and about by building unique partnerships with parents/ carers and road safety, health and education professionals.
We are also working closely with the Nobel Foundation and the Norwegian government on developing a Peace TV Channel.
