Does print management reduce costs?

If you choose CDS as your print management providers on an exclusive basis, you can expect savings of between 15-25% of your annual spend.

What are the benefits of print management?

You’ll have a single point of contact for all of your print requirements. Our team will provide you with 24/7/365 system access and the peace of mind that your print projects are in in the hands of experts whose role it is to ensure that everything is produced to the right quality and on time. Additionally, our services are covered by the most relevant certifications including quality management, environmental management, and cyber essentials plus.

Why is print management important?

Print managers like us are best placed to deliver at lower prices due the high volume of orders they place across our supplier base to always secure the best price for you. Suppliers are generally open to providing significant discounts to print managers to attract as much spend as possible. Acting alone, clients are unlikely to be able to negotiate the same levels of discounts.

What is the advantage of using a public sector framework?

Put simply, time saved. A public sector framework eliminates the onerous initial stages of the ‘Find a Tender’ process which is open to all virtually UK suppliers. Ultimately, the Framework allows you to undertake a mini competition with a much smaller list of approved suppliers all who have demonstrated their capability to the framework managers. The impact of this is that a contract can usually be completed within three months compared to a much longer period using ‘Find a Tender’.

Can we continue to use our local suppliers?

Yes, we are happy to review any local suppliers that you wish to use. However, we will need to properly assess them first before we can bring them on to the approved supplier base.

Are the print systems readily available, easy to access and use?

Our systems are browser-based and accessible on-line 24/7/365. They are user-friendly and intuitive although the option to liaise directly with the print team by telephone or email is always available.
