Lot Information
Lot 1
SMT in this case is where the CoL, is at an early stage in development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, it seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity for a Managed Print Services contract. The Corporation's current Managed Print service contract ends in Aug 2024. This contract covers City of London Corporation, City of London Police, Barbican, Libraries (including public printing), Schools and Print room with a print fleet of 540 devices deployed at around 34 post codes. The print volumes in many areas in the Corporation have reduced post pandemic while some have returned to pre-pandemic levels. The Project's objective is to procure a new Managed Print services contract to replace the current contract.
