Summary of the contracting process

The University of Cumbria is currently engaged in a tender process for "Multifunctional Devices and Digital Transformation Solutions" under the CPC Digital Transformation Framework (CPC/DU/MFD/03A). This procurement focuses on supplying a managed print solution, with the tender open until 23rd September 2021, and the contract anticipated to run for five years, from 15th November 2021 to 15th November 2026. The project falls within the office machinery and supplies industry category and is located in Lancaster, North West England. Suppliers are invited to propose pricing for two options concerning the provision of multifunctional devices and are encouraged to consider a phased introduction of new equipment to accommodate changing circumstances due to Covid-19.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in office machinery, managed print services, and digital transformation solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete, given the recurrent nature of this procurement. Companies that can provide flexible solutions and demonstrate adaptability in their offerings will have a competitive advantage. Interested suppliers should prepare to address the specific requirements outlined in the tender documentation, particularly in relation to option pricing and phased implementation strategies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Multifunctional Devices and Digital Transformation Solutions (CPC FW Agreement CPC/DU/MFD/03A)

Notice Description

We are requesting submissions from suppliers on the CPC Digital Transformation Framework ( LOT 2) ( Ref CPC/DU/MFD/03A) to supply a managed print solution to The University of Cumbria. Our Print Room and non-networked printers are included in Option 1 of this Invitation to Tender. Option 2 assumes the closure of our Print Unit and the provision of a third party reprographics service. Our preference is for suppliers to price both options. Covid19 has, of course, changed the landscape and we are therefore looking for a phased introduction of new MFDs with a minimum order as stated in the specification with flexibility to add more MFDs later in the year / contract if required. We are awarding the contract for a period of 5 years. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : Yes
