Procurement Services Celebrates 20 Years with Sharp UK
Posted by Mollie Pike on Nov 07, 2024
This year marks the 20th anniversary of our successful partnership with Sharp UK. Our collaboration began in 2004 when Sharp UK became a supplier on the “Kent County Council Supply of Photocopiers Framework Agreement,” managed on behalf of the Central Buying Consortium. Since then, Sharp UK has consistently secured its place on our successive contracts, including the current “Multi-Functional Devices and Digital Solutions” framework. Over the past five years, they have also added Audio-Visual Solutions to their framework portfolio with us.
As a market-leading procurement services organisation, Procurement Services focuses on providing compliant procurement routes for the UK public sector to acquire products and services from approved suppliers. Our partnership with Sharp UK has enabled us to offer a wide range of solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of education and wider public sector organisations.
Through our frameworks, Sharp UK has developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by these sectors. This insight has allowed them to create a portfolio of products, services, and solutions that are both integrated and customisable to address client challenges effectively.
Sharp UK’s collaboration with the University of Buckingham highlights the success of our partnership. The university sought to enhance its hybrid learning capabilities and create a seamless experience for both students and educators. Sharp UK’s consultative approach and tailored Audio-Visual solutions significantly improved the learning experience for all involved.
David Harrison, Director of Public Sector Sales at Sharp UK, expressed his pride in the achievements of our partnership over the past 20 years. He stated, “Together, we offer best-in-class solutions for Managed Print Solutions, Document Services, and Audio-Visual Solutions to Education and wider Public Sector organisations, simplifying procurement under a compliant contractual framework. We have collectively helped thousands of organisations improve services, reduce costs, and deliver value to their stakeholders.”
Tarryn Kerr, Managing Director of Procurement Services, added, “We are delighted to have built a strong partnership with Sharp UK over the past 20 years. We are proud to work together to offer the public sector a simple, compliant route for procurement, enabling organisations to procure solutions that drive efficiencies and deliver added value across the UK.”
