Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tamworth Borough Council procured the leasing of multifunctional devices (MFDs), combining office printing, copying, scanning and related document-handling equipment. The requirement was treated as a goods purchase for the council’s public-service operations and covered delivery or use across England. The council used the Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework for this requirement. The selected supplier was Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, a large UK office-equipment provider. The procurement concerned office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies rather than software or furniture. Its practical focus is the provision of leased multifunctional devices for council workplaces, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, managed print providers, office technology resellers and leasing specialists able to supply and support this type of equipment across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has reached completion: the contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a direct award route for a below-threshold contract under the Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework. The award date was 1 July 2026, when Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd was selected. The active contract is valued at £42,280.32 and was signed on 1 July 2026. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement’s single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome identifies a selected supplier and an active contract despite the lot status. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates demand from Tamworth Borough Council for leased multifunctional devices bought through a purchasing framework and awarded on price. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply office multifunctional devices at competitive cost, structure the offer around leasing, and provide the operational support needed to keep council printing, copying and scanning services running. Coverage across England is relevant, since the requirement spans a wide delivery area rather than a single site. The selected supplier’s scale also indicates that a competing business should be able to manage a council-wide equipment requirement, maintain service capacity across multiple locations and work effectively through a framework-based purchasing route. Office-equipment manufacturers, managed print firms, leasing providers and established resellers are the closest commercial comparators.
