Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth University has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply, installation, and maintenance of Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) as part of its Printing Service. Using a selective procurement method under the restricted procedure, the university aimed to enter into a contract within the industry category of photocopying and offset printing equipment. The award was made to Ricoh UK Limited for a contract valued at £317,884.27, with the contract period spanning from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2028. The procurement process is detailed under the CC/ YPO Multifunctional Devices (MFDs), Print and Digital Workflow Software Services and Managed Print Service Provision Framework (RM6174) - Lot 2, indicating a clear focus on integrating high-quality printing solutions across various UK locations, including Bournemouth and broader international addresses.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in high-quality printing hardware and comprehensive maintenance services. Companies with expertise in delivering reliable MFDs and associated services, particularly those familiar with public sector frameworks, are well-suited to complement such procurement efforts. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not indicated as the primary target (as the suitability criteria were not geared towards these organisations), large and established service providers in the printing industry, like Ricoh UK Limited, stand to benefit greatly by demonstrating capabilities in handling expansive service requirements under similar frameworks and procurement methods.
