Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham College procured a leased AccurioPress 7120 digital production printer for its Reprographics Department. The requirement covers the printer and the associated operational service: provision, installation, maintenance and ongoing technical support. The equipment is intended to provide high-quality, reliable print production and continuity of service throughout the lease. This is a goods procurement centred on production printing equipment and managed support for an education organisation. The buyer is Nottingham College, based in Nottingham, and the requirement supports its reprographics operations. The classification is printers and plotters (CPV 30232100). The procurement was made through the CPC Framework, indicating a framework-based route for supplying and supporting production print equipment rather than a standalone open-market purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the CPC Framework. The contract was awarded to Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, with one bid recorded. The awarded contract value is £80,000. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs for 60 months. Price was the stated award criterion. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active, so the procurement outcome is the active contract with the named supplier. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procedure was justified on the basis that it was procured under the CPC Framework and fell outside the relevant directive’s scope.

This outcome indicates demand from Nottingham College for high-volume digital production printing supported as a complete service rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need credible capability to provide production printers, install them, maintain them over a multi-year lease and deliver responsive technical support. Experience of sustaining reliable print output and continuity of service for a reprographics operation would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to manage an integrated equipment-and-support arrangement. The route also shows the importance of access to, or experience with, the CPC Framework and of presenting a competitive price-led offer. Equipment manufacturers, authorised resellers, managed print providers and specialist service partners with production-print expertise are the most relevant competitors.
