Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited, revolves around a comprehensive framework to acquire Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products and Services Including Print and Design Services. This tender falls within the "Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages" category and covers the entire UK, with a keen focus on goods. The procurement focuses on providing solutions for various UK public sector entities, including government departments, NHS bodies, local authorities, educational establishments, and more. The tender proceeded through an open procurement method, and the framework consists of two lots, enabling a maximum of 35 suppliers to participate across both. The contract, valued at approximately £300 million excluding VAT, was awarded on 22nd April 2025, marking the completion of the process.

This framework presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in office machinery, print, and design services. With a maximum allowance of 15 suppliers for lot one, focusing on multifunctional devices, and 20 suppliers for lot two, focusing on print and design services, the tender supports large establishments aiming to expand their reach in the public sector. Suppliers like Konica Minolta and Xerox have already been awarded contracts, but the diverse needs of participating bodies across the sector allow room for competition and innovative solutions that cater to digital transformation requirements. It is specifically suitable for businesses providing high-quality goods at competitive prices within the CPV category, enabling them to build rapport and secure long-term, profitable relationships with public entities throughout the UK.
