Altodigital, the leading independent supplier of digital print and document solutions to businesses across the UK, has secured a hotly contested position on the Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) framework, a procurement hub for further education colleges across the UK.
The CPC was established in 2000 to assist Further Education Institutions, Academies and similar educational establishments to obtain better value for money from contracted suppliers and services. This is achieved by establishing EU tendered supply arrangements with over 400 suppliers.
The Consortium measures suppliers against a set of criteria, taking into account service levels, internal monitoring processes, green credentials and pricing structures.
The CPC has established a framework designed to meet the document production needs of institutions across the sector, from copy, scan and fax, to complex requirements such as managed print solutions. Altodigital has been awarded two positions on this framework; Lot 2, for multifunctional devices and associated print services, and Lot 5, for desktop printers.
Andy Hargreaves, Altodigital Networks Ltd, commented: “Frameworks, such as the CPC, are incredibly useful for both members and suppliers. All suppliers on the framework have been through extensive vetting processes, providing members with a pool of reliable, trustworthy suppliers.
“Prices in the CPC are all fixed by EU Framework Agreements, making it easier for members to budget for services.
“Altodigital has extensive experience working with the public sector, having been on the Government Procurement Service (GPS) framework for the past four years.
“More specifically, Altodigital has a long history of working with educational institutions and we are acutely aware of their needs to manage costs, limit waste and carbon emissions, lighten the burden of fleet maintenance and improve service delivery, so we are pleased to have secured our position on the Consortium. This latest agreement will help to further cement our position as industry leaders in the sector and we look forward to working closely with the CPC.”
