The competitive bidding feature in PrintGizmo is intended to ensure advantageous pricing for print and graphic design services. The competitive bidding process is customized in PrintGizmo to allow departments to quickly obtain a spot quote for print and graphic design services. Departments can benefit from time and cost savings by competitively bidding these projects through PrintGizmo with multiple suppliers at once. The potential savings is dependent on factors such as idle capacity among the Contracted Suppliers at the time of service so can range, while the average savings Pitt departments received through competitively bidding a project in PrintGizmo was 29%.  

To assist departments in leveraging the competitive bidding process to benefit from potential time and cost savings for print and graphic design projects through PrintGizmo, we are hosting two information sessions. These sessions will provide an overview of the competitive bidding process and walk you through how to utilize PrintGizmo to obtain a spot quote, which typically results in savings.
