Managed print services

Mandatory Contracts take a variety of forms, including higher education framework agreements and pre-agreed contracts. They have a different purchasing route depending on the nature of the product and the University’s operations. The routes are:

• In-house: Goods/services that are provided by a LU department
• Internally co-ordinated: Goods/services provided by an external supplier but managed via a LU department
• Supplier direct: The procurer will liaise directly with the supplier
• Supplier direct (eCatalogue): The procurer will select the goods/services from our bespoke catalogue using Agresso

The primary stance on printed materials is to always produce in house. Working with our creative teams and our customers we ensure that outcomes are suitable for in house production. In taking this stance we can ensure that brand, quality and sustainability targets are met at all times. Through bulk purchasing of print materials we acheive significant savings for the University.

On occasion the required outcome can not be produced in-house and we manage the manadatory contract for outsourced print. We work with a number of reputable suppliers that support our mission to maintain brand, quality and sustainability targets.

Our Account Management team can meet to discuss your requirements and advise you on the most cost-effective and fit-for-purpose way to produce your job. They will help you to establish a clear specification, define the content you need to pull together and once agreed, they will organise a quotation for you. Once this quotation is approved, we schedule the work into production and advise on the turnaround.
