UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured staff fleet click-cost charging services, described under the digital printing services category (CPV 79811000). The requirement supports charging for printing associated with the university’s staff fleet, under the Crown Commercial Service RM6174 framework. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction, and the requirement is structured as a single lot. The scope is therefore relevant to suppliers providing managed print services, digital printing, printer fleet support or usage-based click charging for a university or similarly distributed public-sector organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, through framework RM6174. CANON (UK) LIMITED was awarded the single lot, with an active award. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The contract is active and the award remains active. The published outcome identifies digital printing services as the service category. The procurement was not divided into multiple awarded suppliers or lots, so the stated value relates to this single contract and supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from a UK university for a managed digital printing and staff fleet click-cost service delivered through a public-sector framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to provide reliable print-fleet management, measure usage accurately, apply click-based charging and support staff users across a university estate. Relevant capability includes operating or integrating digital printers, maintaining service continuity, handling usage and billing data, and providing responsive account and technical support. Experience of higher education or other public-sector environments would help a competitor understand dispersed users, governance and framework purchasing. The selected supplier was a large established print provider, indicating that credibility will depend on dependable operational capacity as well as the ability to meet the defined service scope.
