Electronic Office Supplies 2023 (Toner and Cartridges)
Introduction
The Electronic Office Supplies 2023 (Toner and Cartridges) framework is a strategic procurement agreement managed by Crescent Purchasing, designed to streamline the acquisition of toner and cartridges for public sector organisations. Running until 3rd January 2026, this framework is part of the broader 'Corporate Services' category, focusing on ensuring that public sector bodies have reliable access to essential electronic office supplies. By concentrating on toner and cartridges, the framework aims to offer innovative procurement solutions while integrating added social value for its members.
Context & Use Case
In the modern workplace, efficient and reliable access to office supplies is crucial for maintaining productivity. The Electronic Office Supplies 2023 (Toner and Cartridges) framework is specifically tailored to meet this need by providing a structured procurement route for high-use items like toner and printer cartridges. Public sector organisations, including local authorities, educational institutions, and healthcare entities, often require significant quantities of these supplies to support their daily operations. This framework allows these bodies to procure necessary items efficiently, ensuring continuity in their functions and services.
Scope of Services
The framework covers a comprehensive range of toner and cartridge supplies, ensuring that public sector organisations can meet their varied printing needs. Typical services and products available under this framework include: 1. A wide selection of toner cartridges compatible with major printer brands. 2. Ink cartridges for a variety of office printers and multifunction devices. 3. Eco-friendly and remanufactured cartridge options to support sustainability goals. 4. Ongoing supply management to prevent shortages and ensure continuous operation.
Who Can Apply
This framework is suitable for suppliers specialising in electronic office supplies, specifically those with a strong portfolio of toner and cartridge products. Suppliers with a commitment to sustainability and the ability to provide innovative solutions are particularly encouraged to participate. As the framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), applications are closed post-award, meaning suppliers must be part of the initial tender process to be included.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit significantly from the Electronic Office Supplies 2023 framework. It offers a compliant procurement route, ensuring that all purchases align with public sector regulations and standards. The framework facilitates a swift and efficient procurement process, reducing the time and administrative burden typically associated with sourcing office supplies. Furthermore, the framework introduces a competitive environment, encouraging suppliers to present cost-effective and innovative solutions that add value beyond the basic supply of goods.
