Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced that its
Management Services business unit was selected by The Cooperative
Purchasing Network (TCPN) in Houston. Under the authority of the
Texas Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC), the lead agency
responsible for the bid, Pitney Bowes Management Services was
awarded a contract for Managed Print Services (MPS). Under this
agreement, state and local government agencies in Texas and other
states are able to purchase MPS solutions from Pitney Bowes using a
significantly streamlined procurement process.
TCPN is a national purchasing cooperative that contracts on
behalf of K-12 schools, higher education institutions, local
governments and non-profit organizations in all 50 states.
Established to help public entities operate more economically, TCPN
leverages its collective membership to bid and award contracts,
freeing its individual members from having to negotiate on their
own.
“We are excited to partner with TCPN as they expand their
portfolio of offerings to their stakeholders at various levels of
government,” said Tim Healy, vice president, Commercial &
Public Sector, Pitney Bowes Management Services. “Pitney Bowes is a
leading provider of innovative managed print services and has the
resources at the ready to help clients customize solutions to
address their unique needs, streamline business processes, and
achieve dramatic cost savings.”
This contract offers TCPN’s 30,000-plus active government and
nonprofit members pre-negotiated pricing for Managed Print Services
that leverage the network’s buying power to deliver lower costs
without the challenge of a local bid process, which is often costly
and time consuming.
“TCPN is pleased to partner with Pitney Bowes on a managed print
solutions offering. The Pitney Bowes portfolio of solutions will
enable public sector agencies to better leverage their print spend,
to deliver cost savings while receiving the highest levels of
quality,” said Chris Penny, vice president, Sales, TCPN.
