## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has initiated and completed a public procurement process titled "GMCA 1429 - Multi-Functional Devices and Print Management Software and Services." This procurement, falling under the industry category of office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies, involved a comprehensive managed print service aimed at enhancing efficiency and supporting the use of multifunction devices. The awarded contract, valued at £286,867, is scheduled to commence on 27 March 2026 and conclude on 26 March 2029. Although the tender stage has concluded with the award dated 22 August 2025, the procurement process was labelled as "Other," indicating a bespoke procurement method. The project targets international locations, including the UK and various overseas territories, illustrating its extensive operational reach.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in managed print services, particularly those with a capability to support large-scale, multifunctional device solutions. While the successful supplier was Konica Minolta, a large-scale enterprise, there remains potential for other businesses to engage as subcontractors or in future procurement processes. Companies equipped with innovative solutions in print efficiency and sustainability, and with expertise in serving broad geographic markets, would be well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and similar public sector entities.
