Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured a trust-wide managed print service covering multifunctional devices, GovPrint hardware, managed print provision and digital solutions. The service is intended for all Trust sites and supporting units, serving the Trust’s healthcare operations across its estate. The procurement falls within printing and related services. It was arranged through the Multifunctional Devices, GovPrint Hardware, Managed Print Provision and Digital Solutions Framework (RM6361), so the requirement is suited to providers able to deliver and support managed printing across a dispersed NHS organisation rather than a single-site print installation. The buying organisation is East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Colchester.

The procurement has been awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was continuation of the service so that existing assets could be used to their full capacity, with the procedure based on additional deliveries by the original supplier under the relevant framework conditions. Vision (Office Automation) Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and has a value of £924,480. Evaluation was weighted 60% to cost, 30% to quality and 10% to social value. The process status is complete, and the award is active. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to provide a complete managed print service across NHS sites and supporting units, combining multifunctional devices, print hardware, ongoing print provision and digital solutions. The incumbent award indicates that continuity and the ability to make full use of an existing asset base are important commercial considerations. Suppliers should therefore be able to integrate with or support an established fleet, maintain reliable service across a dispersed healthcare estate and demonstrate strong operational delivery. Quality matters alongside price, while social value forms part of the evaluation, so a competitive offer would need more than low cost: it would need a robust service model, relevant managed print experience and a clear social value contribution.
