This procurement, titled "Joseph Chamberlain 6th Form College MFD Partner," aims to secure a company that can provide a comprehensive MFD service, which includes printing devices, installation, maintenance, and the provision of print management software. The procurement process involves a competitive flexible procedure, with specific steps such as submission of a Pre-Selection Questionnaire (PSQ) and subsequent evaluations. Interested parties need to express their interest by 2nd March 2026, with the enquiry period closing on 16th February 2026.

With a substantial contract value and a five-year term from 1st May 2026, companies with expertise in providing MFD solutions, especially those capable of integrating innovative, cost-effective technologies, will find this opportunity particularly appealing. The college is seeking partners with a forward-looking approach who can support its evolving needs and provide sustainable, efficient solutions over the contract period. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate given the stated suitability for SMEs. The competitive nature of the process emphasises both price and quality equally, offering an excellent platform for businesses to demonstrate their value and capability to enhance the college’s operations through superior device management and customer service.
