XOR LTD have been awarded 'recognised supplier status' for delivering e-Learning services under Lot 5 of the Buying Solutions Learning & Development and eLearning Solutions framework agreement - the agency set up to help government deliver value for money from its spending.
The agreements are available to all government departments and local authorities, meaning XOR LTD can now provide its learning and communications solutions to public sector organisations more cost effectively.
Buying Solutions' only award framework agreements to organisations which meet its rigorous selection criteria. XOR can now build on the range of services it already supplies to the public sector.
The framework agreement will allow public sector organisations to buy a range of services through pre-tendered arrangements which comply with the European Union's procurement legislation.
John O'Sullivan, XOR Sales and Marketing Director, said he was delighted XOR was successful in gaining a place on the framework agreement.
"It will bring the full range of XOR services within easy reach of all central government departments and councils, and assure them of high quality and value for money," he said.

The Learning Technologies exhibition, running later this month, is to include a seminar on next generation IT systems training from exhibiting company XOR.
The 30-minute seminar titled "Beyond 'screen scraping' - next generation IT systems training" is taking place in Theatre Four on the exhibition floor, at 1230 on day 2 of the Learning Technologies event, Thursday 29 January.
The seminar is being presented by John O'Sullivan, Business Development, XOR Ltd: "XOR develops leading-edge training solutions for large scale IT systems roll-outs. On large, complex projects the key challenge is to deliver accurate training emulations when there is often a 'moving target' - the IT system is in development."
"The XOR approach allows the content development team to develop IT system emulations without needing access to a 'live' system - giving the training programme manager complete control over their IT training delivery."
Each of the exhibition seminars is free to attend and while advance booking isn't required, visitors are recommended to arrive early to be sure of a seat. A complete schedule of the exhibition seminars can be found at www.learningtechnologies.co.uk/exhibition/seminars.cfm
The Learning Technologies Exhibition and Conference, returning in its tenth year, is on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 January 2009 at Olympia 2 in London. Registration for both the 2009 exhibition and conference is available at www.learningtechnologies.co.uk.

XOR are proud to announce the development of an innovative flash game for clients AAT (the Association of Accounting Technicians).
AAT - who represent some 100,000 members and students worldwide - are constantly looking for ways in which technology can be used to assist tutors and students. Like many other professional bodies, they are also continually looking for ways to get young people interested in their subject area.
Having been approached by AAT, XOR soon came up with the idea of a web-based flash game that teaches the rudiments of double-entry book-keeping - a cornerstone of accounting practice.
