Refer a Client,
Earn a Reward
Great IT support gets talked about. If a business you know could use a managed IT partner like us, tell us - and we'll say thanks properly.
What's in it for you
We reward referrals with experiences - something to actually enjoy. Depending on the referral, that might be a pair of tickets to a local sporting fixture, dinner out, a spa day, or an overnight stay somewhere worth going.
The reward scales with the value of the business your introduction brings in - a larger contract earns a more substantial reward. We'll agree the details with you directly once the new client is on board, so you get something you'll actually want.
How it works
There's no form-filling marathon and nothing to chase. Put us in touch with a business you think we'd suit, and we'll handle the rest - keeping you in the loop as it goes.
1. Tell us about them
Use the form below, or email referrals@3ps.co.uk. If you'd rather just tell them to give us a ring, that works too - as long as they mention your name when they get in touch, it counts.
2. We take it from there
We'll get in touch and keep you posted on how it goes, win or lose. They won't be told who referred them unless you're happy for us to say.
3. You get your reward
If they become a client, we'll confirm your reward once their service goes live, and arrange it once they've settled in.

Programme terms
Who can take part
The 3PS Referral Programme is open to any individual employed by, or contracted to, a current 3PS Managed IT customer organisation. You can't refer your own employer, or another company within the same group structure as your employer. 3PS employees, subcontractors and their immediate family members aren't eligible to take part. You must also be permitted to participate in the programme and accept any reward under your employer's policies. Where employer approval is required, you are responsible for obtaining it.
What counts as a qualifying referral
The introduction must be genuine and new to us - not a current 3PS customer, a business already in our pipeline, previously quoted, or in substantive conversation with us during the last 6 months. It can reach us through the referral form on this page, by an introduction from you, or by the prospect contacting us directly and naming you. Either way, it must reach us before our first substantive contact with them. Where you provide someone's contact details, you must have spoken to them about the introduction and have their agreement to pass their details to 3PS. A referral is accepted only when 3PS confirms this to you. If more than one person refers the same organisation, the first eligible referral accepted by 3PS will normally qualify.
Reward timing
A qualifying referral must lead to an eligible 3PS Managed IT services agreement, with the new client completing onboarding and reaching live service status. The reward is earned once the new client has completed 90 consecutive days of active service and all amounts due to 3PS have been paid in full. If the client cancels, fails to proceed, terminates its agreement or falls into arrears before that point, no reward will be due. One-off projects, hardware purchases, software or licence-only purchases and other services outside an eligible Managed IT agreement do not qualify unless 3PS agrees otherwise in writing.
Rewards are intended as a thank-you and may include hotel stays, dining, leisure or wellbeing experiences, other benefits from our current reward range, a business account credit or, where offered, a charitable donation. The reward offered will reflect the value and nature of the qualifying business generated and will be confirmed with you by 3PS. No single referral reward will exceed a maximum value of £500. Rewards have no automatic cash alternative and third-party experiences are subject to availability and any booking conditions or expiry dates imposed by the provider. We will normally arrange your reward within 30 days of the qualifying 90-day period being completed.
Exclusions
Businesses already known to 3PS, self-referrals, referrals of your own employer or its group companies, referrals from 3PS staff, subcontractors or their immediate family members, and new business won through a formal competitive tender or procurement process do not normally qualify. Fraudulent, misleading or manufactured referrals are also excluded. Referrers must not represent themselves as employees or agents of 3PS, make commitments on our behalf, promise pricing or discounts, or promote the programme through unsolicited bulk marketing or paid advertising without our prior agreement.
A reward must never be used to improperly influence a purchasing, procurement or supplier-selection decision. 3PS may decline to provide a personal reward where we reasonably believe that doing so could breach an employer's gifts or hospitality policy, create a conflict of interest or otherwise be inappropriate. Where appropriate, we may instead agree for the reward to be provided to your organisation, credited to its 3PS account or donated to charity.
General
The Referral Programme is offered at 3PS's discretion and may be amended, suspended or withdrawn at any time. Changes will normally apply only to referrals submitted after the change takes effect. Where 3PS has already confirmed that a referral has been accepted, we will normally honour the terms that applied at the time, provided the referral subsequently meets the qualifying conditions. We may withhold or withdraw a reward in cases of fraud, abuse, material error or breach of these terms.
3PS will determine whether a referral qualifies reasonably and by reference to our customer, CRM, sales and accounting records. Referral rewards may have tax or reporting consequences depending on the recipient's circumstances and the nature of the reward. You are responsible for determining and meeting any tax or reporting obligations that apply to you; 3PS does not provide tax advice.
We'll process your details and those of the business you introduce in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Details supplied through the programme will initially be used to assess and follow up the referral and will not automatically add the person you introduce to a general marketing list.
Participation in the Referral Programme does not create an employment, agency, partnership or representative relationship between you and 3PS. These terms are governed by the laws of Northern Ireland.
