Purchasing Services Announcement:

Purchasing Services is pleased to announce that a new Vendor of Record (VOR) has been established for the provision of printing and related services to the college. The new VOR is a result of collaborative procurement process by Purchasing with OECM who has negotiated and finalized the printing contract. This VOR will see Humber entering long-term service agreement with several pre-approved suppliers under this VOR.

We have awarded a 2020 Vendor of Record Agreement for provision of printing services (2020-420P) to the following vendors:

What You’ll Get:

• Wide variety of print products, such as books, catalogues, calendars, flyers, folders, and more, available on any substrates required.
• Cutting-edge print techniques, including digital and offset.
• Choice of finishing and binding techniques.
• Related services, including prepress services, order fulfillment, warehousing and/or inventory, scanning, direct mail services and more.
• High-volume production facilities to meet your lead times.
• Products that support your environmental and sustainability requirements.
• By leveraging and centralizing our purchasing power and streamlining how we work, we will be more efficient, deliver innovative services and goods, and most importantly, work together to reduce costs to our budgets.
• The agreements with the above vendors are effective from November 20, 2020, to July 27, 2023, and have an option to extend the term for one additional period of up to two years.

VOR Implementation
