Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves The City of Liverpool College, a sub-central public authority, entering into a direct award for a Multifunction Device (MFD) rental and service agreement. The contract spans four years, starting from 1st August 2025 until 31st July 2029. The agreement includes various print management and installation services, located in Liverpool (UKD72 region), and is part of the Printing and Related Services industry category. The procurement stage is at the award level, with Ricoh UK Limited pending the award. Procurements were conducted through the Crown Commercial Services framework RM6174 Lot 2, utilising a direct procurement method completed as of 24th June 2025. The contract's value is £299,782 (excluding VAT), with a gross amount of £359,738.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in print management and related services. Businesses, particularly medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), stand to benefit from the installation, training, and support services outlined in the contract. Ricoh UK Limited, a large entity with expertise in this field, is well-positioned to fulfil the contract's demands. However, similar organisations with strong capabilities in multifunction device management and print solutions can seek growth potential through such contracts in public procurement frameworks. The involvement of SMEs reflects suitability for smaller companies striving to establish or expand their presence in public procurement markets.
