Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Beckett University has completed the procurement process for an extension to the lease on part of their existing printer fleet. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically "Printers and plotters" (CPV code 30232100), with a delivery location in Leeds (UKE42). This contract was awarded on the 5th of February 2025 and the key procurement method utilised was the limited procedure, which is justified due to the specific nature of the existing hardware fleet. The contract, valued at £500,000, aims to extend the life of underutilised devices while returning approximately 50% to the manufacturer.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in printer leasing and maintenance services. Companies with expertise in managing and refurbishing existing equipment fleets would be well-suited for such opportunities, particularly if they can offer cost-effective solutions that extend the lifespan of existing inventory. Additionally, firms experienced in handling tailored contracts that may not fit within traditional competitive processes will find this to be a relevant prospect for business growth.

Notice Title

Lease extension on part of an existing printer fleet

Notice Description

This VEAT refers to the extension of printer leases on a proportion of an existing fleet, to allow underutilised devices to be worked more effectively towards the end of their operating life.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University has an existing printer fleet of over 200 Multi Functional Printers, which has been heavily under-utilised both during Covid and since. We wish to change the leases on these devices to extend their working life, whilst returning approximately 50% to the manufacturer.

Procurement Information

We do not believe that it is possible to offer this contract for competitive process because it relies on utilising an existing hardware fleet that has been leased under a previously tendered contract. These devices are now out of their originally agreed lifespan but, due to under use, are still in excellent working order. Other vendors would not have access to our existing devices and would not, therefore, be make a competitive offer.
