Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, a central government authority based in Wolverhampton, has completed the procurement process for the provision of Very High Volume (VHV) Reprographic Equipment at MOD Lyneham. The procurement, categorised under the services industry and classified as photocopying services, employed a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Ricoh UK Limited on 14th July 2026, and spans a period from 15th July 2026 to 14th July 2031. The award, reflecting a total contract value of £95,667.12 including VAT, was formally documented in a contract notice published on 28th July 2026.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in providing high-volume reprographic services, particularly large-scale operations, such as Ricoh UK Limited, which secured the contract. The decision to bypass competitive tendering suggests that future similar opportunities may arise for trusted suppliers capable of meeting specific MoD requirements efficiently and reliably. Businesses with expertise in high-volume equipment services could find growth potential in cultivating similar contracts with government entities, given the sustained demand in this sector.
