Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust's "Provision of Multi Functional Devices" contracting initiative is spearheaded by the Trust itself, a sub-central government authority. The contract focuses on supplying multi-functional devices and print management software to the Trust, with services including installation, maintenance, and training. Located in Gloucester, the procurement covers the delivery within the South West region of the United Kingdom. This process, conducted via an open procedure, reached its award stage on 23rd June 2026, following an initial tender on 12th March 2026. The competitive contract, valued at £425,000 (gross: £510,000), was awarded to Dolphin Tec Limited, with the contract set to commence on 1st July 2026 for a five-year period ending on 30th June 2031.
