Romec On The Move With Stationery Bid

Print Solutions, the printing arm of national facilities management specialists Romec, has won an e-auction for a three-year contract to supply printed stationery to Royal Mail Group.

Competing against five other companies Print Solutions took part in an on-line auction before emerging as the chosen supplier.

The contract requires, amongst many other stationery items, some 9 million sheets of headed paper every year that will be printed and distributed from Print Solutions' Swindon base.

The printing works in Swindon, which has an annual turnover of approximately £3.5 million, handles around 320 individual print jobs every week, with some 700 projects being live at any one time. Customers include many different commercial clients in the public and private sectors.

Peter Mendham, Print Solutions Manager, said about the contract win: "Whilst on-line auctions are always a tense affair at least you are aware of the outcome relatively quickly and given our competitive bid, as well as experience in stationery and form production, we were always hopeful of a successful result."
