Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Multifunctional Devices Fleet and Managed Print Provision" was conducted by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, a regional authority in Ashton under Lyne, United Kingdom, under the services industry category for printing services. The tender, identified by id 14830, reached the award stage and was completed, with a contract signed with Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Limited on 31st March 2026. The procurement used a limited method, bypassing prior publication due to falling outside the directive’s application scope, utilising a pre-established framework. Although one lot was cancelled, the contract value was £540,000, focusing on refreshing the authority's multifunctional devices fleet in the UKD36 region.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for large corporations capable of providing comprehensive managed print services and device fleet management. Companies with expertise in the required technical services or already part of existing government frameworks like the CCS Multifunctional Devices can find lucrative prospects. The procurement strategy indicates a preference for experienced, large-scale suppliers likely adept at handling extensive infrastructure and support services tailored for regional or local authorities.
