Buy managed print without a tender.
Insight Systems is an approved supplier on Lot 1 of the Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework, which the Department for Education recommends. If your school, college, university or public body buys through CPC, you can appoint us directly and the procurement compliance is already done.
What the CPC Framework is.
The Crescent Purchasing Consortium is a nationally recognised procurement agreement built to simplify buying for schools, colleges, universities and public sector organisations across the UK. Suppliers on it have already been vetted, and the pricing has already been competed.
For multifunctional devices that means a shorter route to a reliable, secure and sustainable print setup, with less administration and without a buyer having to prove best value from scratch.
Ask Us About Buying Through CPC- The suppliers are pre-approvedEvery supplier on the framework has been assessed before you get to them, so the due diligence sits with CPC rather than with your team.
- The compliance is built inBuying through the framework meets procurement regulations, which is the part that usually takes the longest to satisfy.
- There is no tender to runPricing has been competed at framework level, so you can appoint a supplier directly rather than running your own exercise.
What you get from buying this way.
Six things the framework settles before a conversation with us even starts.
Cost savings
Competitive pricing without a lengthy tender process, because the competition has already happened at framework level.
Compliance
Fully vetted suppliers who meet procurement regulations.
Flexible contracts
Leasing, purchasing and managed print options.
Secure print management
Protection for sensitive documents and a setup that supports GDPR compliance, which matters more in education and the public sector than almost anywhere else.
Sustainable printing
Energy-efficient options that reduce waste and cut the carbon footprint of print.
Expert support
Suppliers who know the education and public sector specifically, rather than applying a general commercial model to it.
What we supply through it.
The framework is the route. What comes down it is the same service we run everywhere else: independent advice across the leading manufacturers, devices sized to how you actually print, and a team that handles the transition.
See Our Other Frameworks- Tailored print strategiesWe assess what your sites actually print before recommending anything, so the estate matches term-time peaks and real demand rather than a standard package.
- Next generation devicesCurrent multifunctional devices from the manufacturers we are independent across, chosen for the job rather than for the brand.
- Managed print servicesCosts, consumables and servicing handled as one contract, with the reporting to show where the spend is going.
- Secure and cloud based printingRelease at the device, cloud document storage, and the access controls that keep exam papers and pupil data where they should be.
- Eco-conscious printEnergy-efficient hardware and reforestation through PrintReleaf, which counts towards the sustainability reporting many bodies now have to produce.
- Flexible procurementLease, rent or buy, so the route matches how your capital and revenue budgets are actually set.
Where this usually applies.
The framework covers education and the wider public sector. These are the two pages that go into what that looks like in practice.
