Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council procured multifunctional devices (MFDs), print and digital workflow software, and managed print services. The requirement covers the devices and supporting software and services as a managed print provision, for delivery in the East of England. This is an IT and print-services requirement rather than a purchase of devices alone: suppliers need to support the associated print workflows and ongoing managed service. The council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 September 2026 to Vision Group Holdings Limited. The awarded value is £860,000. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The council placed the call-off through a selective route under the RM6361 multifunctional devices framework, Lot 4. The stated tender value was also £860,000. The requirement was classified as a services procurement, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The award was made to one supplier.

This award shows Suffolk County Council buys an integrated package of multifunctional printing equipment, print and digital workflow software, and managed print services through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns will need to bring device provision together with software and ongoing service delivery, rather than focus on hardware alone. The selection of an SME demonstrates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller supplier, while the five-year service period points to a need for sustained operational capacity, support and account management. Credible competitors are likely to be those able to deliver managed print across the East of England and work within the relevant framework route.
