In November 2004 Office Depot was awarded the Contract to provide Office Supplies to PfH Members. A large number of organisations are either already using this deal or have benchmarked against their own pricing. The average savings figure for these organisations is 36% (and up to 80%).

The agreement includes:

Savings - 'PfH Member only' discounts on over 1600 of the most popular items, plus discounts of up to 55% off RRP in the main catalogue.

Quality - Office Depot is ISO9001: 2000 accredited and its quality processes are constantly reviewed to ensure continuous improvement.

Dedicated Customer Service - Office Depot is able to employ staff and resources that are dedicated to PfH and its Members due to the size of the consortium. This ensures that you will always receive prompt service from people that are familiar with you and your organisation.

Online ordering - A user-friendly system that aims to make ordering easy, efficient and cost effective. Every individual that purchases Office Supplies can be set up with a unique user profile for secure online ordering. Free training can be provided.

Delivery - Office Depot has an integrated nationwide network of offices and distribution centres providing local service and employing local people. Next day delivery is guaranteed, ensuring that you get attention that's personal and local. Desktop delivery can be made direct to order points around your premises.
