Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Calico Group commissioned a fully managed print service for its operations in the North West of England. The requirement covers the lease and supply of multifunction devices, with installation and configuration, user support and maintenance. It also includes toner and waste-toner management, automatic meter readings, PaperCut MF licences and associated print-management support. This is a service contract combining print equipment with the ongoing operational and software support needed to run it. The work is for The Calico Group, based in Burnley.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Limited. The award was made on 7 August 2026, following a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value is £89,588.08. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2031. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering multifunction devices and associated products and services. The stated submission deadline was 14 July 2026. The available details identify the framework call-off route but do not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when this managed print requirement returns to market, the award shows demand for an end-to-end service rather than equipment supply alone. A credible provider would need to lease and supply multifunction devices, install and configure them, and provide ongoing support and maintenance. Capability in toner and waste-toner management, automated meter reading and PaperCut MF licensing and support is also directly relevant. The award went to a large print-solutions supplier through a framework call-off, so framework access and the capacity to deliver a fully inclusive, multi-year service would be important to competing effectively. The requirement is for The Calico Group’s operations in the North West.
