The three-year deal covers all print requirements for BMIs 47 private hospitals in the UK, and is expected to cut its print bill by 15%.

AccessPlus, the print management wing of TripleArc, will be developing an online print library where the client can proof, edit and approve forms, brochures and leaflets.

AccessPlus has worked with BMI for a number of years on a limited number of product lines for its hospitals, said AccessPlus key accounts manager Clive Gotch. We are now working closely with designers and some of BMIs larger contract printers to ensure a smooth transition.

Having a central hub for all our print requirements will enable much greater standardisation of the BMI Healthcare brand, said BMI corporate purchasing manager Ralph Spilsbury.
