UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust sought a Trust-wide managed print service covering its organisation. The requirement is for managed print device services, including associated printing and distribution activity. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust serving East Suffolk and North Essex, with its stated address at Colchester District General Hospital in Colchester. The opportunity therefore concerns delivery across the Trust’s service estate rather than a single identified site. It is a services requirement for businesses that provide, manage or support print devices and the related operational print and distribution service needed across a large NHS organisation.

The process reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a tender procedure. It was subsequently withdrawn and the associated award was cancelled. The stated reason was that the service was no longer required, alternative delivery arrangements were available, and existing contractual extension provisions could be used. The planned contract period was 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a maximum possible extension date of 31 March 2035 and renewal provided for. The cancellation was recorded on 1 September 2026. The procurement had one lot, covering the Trust-wide managed print service. No procurement value or evaluation basis is stated in the procurement information.

This opportunity was relevant to suppliers whose core business is managed print device services for organisations operating across multiple locations or service areas. It also suited businesses able to provide the associated printing and distribution activity identified for the requirement. The Trust-wide scope would have been commercially relevant to established managed print providers, print-service operators and businesses combining device management with wider print support. Suppliers considering the requirement would need their normal capability to deliver the specified managed print service and support its operation across the Trust. However, the procurement was withdrawn after reaching tender, so it does not represent a current route to compete for this requirement.
