Total Business Solutions

An end-to-end platform, designed to support organisations with their day-to-day business needs

The framework, which was developed in partnership with Contracting Authority, District Homes CIC, consolidates the full range of products and services required to support the operational activity of a business into one contract, delivered by a single supplier – Paragon Business Essentials, part of Paragon Customer Communications (London) Limited.

The framework is designed to maximise value, offer timesaving solutions, and support businesses with the ordering and delivery of products and services.

Paragon Business Essentials’ extensive range encompasses hundreds of thousands of products from more than 10,000 suppliers, benchmarked against the market to ensure competitive pricing. Deliveries are made nationally through a world-class operations and distribution network.

This combination of scale and logistics gives customers access to an unlimited range of products and services, via a single reliable source, streamlining processes and saving time and money.

It also minimises environmental impact and promotes corporate sustainability through fewer deliveries.
