Eligibility
Eligible organisations need to be registered organisations at Companies House (ie. LTD, PLC, Partnership etc) or, in the case of Sole Traders, be VAT registered. The organisation's primary activity should be the supply of IT related products, services, support or consultancy to their own customer base for commercial gain (ie. non profit making organisations and charities are not eligible). Eligible organisations must also be in a position to make regular sales of our products through their own sales activities.
Levels and discounts
Our Partner Programme consists of five levels with new members joining at the Reseller level and a member's ongoing level being set based upon the RRP value of their purchases of resold products over the previous 365 days.
These levels are assessed upwards automatically every day while downwards changes are only made at the start of each month. Members are exempted from automated downward reviews for the first 90 days after joining the Partner Programme.
Please note that these discounts may not apply to all products and services available to Partners.
