What it offers
Using this agreement, schools can buy:
- printed exercise books
- branded subject workbooks for key stage curriculum activities
- prospectuses
- parent evening invites, and
- many other printed items.
Print marketplace offers instant quotes from over 300 pre-approved suppliers based on a range of simple options, which can be held for 30 days. There is coverage across the UK, and 94% of the suppliers are small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
This is a compliant way to buy print, allowing you to choose a quote based on price, nearest supplier, lead time or even the carbon impact of the job.
Once you've selected a quote you can upload your artwork (or get design help through the system), choose your delivery options, whether you want to offset your carbon impact, and then select buy.
