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 – Office Depot, part of Paragon Customer Communications (London) Limited.
