Another CPC framework recommended by the Department for Education

CPC is pleased to report the Department of Education (DfE) has given recommended status to the CPC Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies framework, bringing our total number of DfE-endorsed agreements on Find a Framework to 17!

The framework can provide CPC’s 10,000+ education sector members with access to a wide range of stationery and education supplies, plus paper, print and specialist papers. It offers a compliant route to market, allowing members to purchase these products at a substantial and demonstrable discount relative to the marketplace, throughout the term of the agreement.

Now signposted via Find a Framework, the Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies framework is split across two lots:

• Stationery and Education Supplies

• Paper, Print and Specialist

Banner UK are the dedicated suppliers on Lot 1 of the framework, and the Head of Banner Education, Michael Kehoe, said: “As a trusted supplier to the education sector, we are delighted to be re-awarded as the sole supplier of this framework and continue our long-standing commitment to CPC and the great work they do across the industry. With over 30 years of experience in the education sector, we take pride in being one of the largest and most trusted suppliers in the UK, providing compliant products and services to education providers at all levels. As we look forward to the year ahead, we are excited to continue developing our offering, including a key focus on Learning & SEN products and promoting sustainable procurement. To be sole supplier of a Department of Education recommended framework is testimony to our commitment to responsibly sourcing and stocking fully tested and compliant products that are designed to inspire and engage children of all ages and learning capabilities".

Don’t forget, through using Crescent Purchasing Consortium services, you are helping to support CPC's flagship Giving Back charitable initiative, which currently has a renewed focus on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), wellbeing and absenteeism, with the fourth Giving Back funding window remaining open for applications until Friday 28th February.
