Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Money and Pensions Service procured printer support and maintenance services for three printers. The requirement is a service contract covering the ongoing support and maintenance of office printing equipment, rather than the supply of computers or general office equipment. Delivery is in the South East of England. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to businesses that maintain, repair and support printers for public sector organisations. It may also suit smaller and voluntary, community or social enterprise providers, as the opportunity was identified as suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs. The buyer is Money and Pensions Service, a public body responsible for the relevant operational requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The contract was awarded to Toshiba Tec UK Imaging Systems Ltd on 11 September 2026 for £36,000. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The award covers support and maintenance for all three printers as one requirement. The published outcome identifies an active award and the same £36,000 value as the procurement estimate. The process was therefore concluded without a competitive open tender, using a below-threshold direct procurement route.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined public sector demand for managed support and maintenance of a small fleet of three printers in the South East. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical printer maintenance capability, reliable fault response and the capacity to support equipment throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Experience supporting office printing environments would help demonstrate understanding of operational continuity, servicing and repair requirements. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist providers may be able to compete, provided they can deliver the required geographic coverage and service standard. Toshiba Tec UK Imaging Systems Ltd’s award also shows that an established imaging-systems provider satisfied the requirement.
