Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living, a public body based in Birkenhead, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the call-off contract titled "ML2026/011 - MFDs & Print Management". This procurement falls under the classification of "Printing and related services" within the services industry category. Although initially set to have a tender process, the contract was awarded through a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition due to it being outside the scope of applicable directives. The contract, valued at £32,593.08, was signed on 17th February 2026, with the delivery location specified as the Head Office in the region UKD. The procurement status is marked as complete with associated awards and contracts being active as of the latest update on 20th February 2026.

This procurement presents potential business growth opportunities primarily for organisations involved in printing and related services, particularly those capable of engaging with framework agreements. Companies like RICOH, identified as the supplier and winner of this contract, exemplify ideal candidates due to their large-scale operations and expertise in managed print services. Business entities that can offer competitive pricing and efficient service delivery, especially those familiar with limited procurement methods and call-off contracts, will be well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities with public sector bodies like Magenta Living.
