## Summary

The University of Southampton has concluded the procurement process for its Managed Print Services contract, valued at £2,142,140, with the award made to Apogee Corporation Limited. This contract, procured through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, involves providing printing services across multiple locations in Southampton, with the contract set to commence on 1st August 2025 and conclude on 31st January 2032. The procurement was classified under the industry category of Printing Services, and it is primarily a services procurement. Although the tender period ended on 15th April 2025, the contract status is now marked as complete, following the award on 24th April 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs, as the University expressed an interest in partnerships that can handle comprehensive managed print solutions, including installation, support, and maintenance. Businesses proficient in cloud or on-premises management of print services with an ability to incorporate a cost-per-click structure inclusive of maintenance and supplies are well-positioned to excel in this domain. Organisations that align with the service needs of large institutions such as universities, and those capable of offering scalable and cost-effective print management solutions, could benefit from similar upcoming opportunities within educational sectors.

The Supplier shall be responsible for all facets of the management of the print service to include but not limited to installation, support, service-metering, supplies, billing, equipment moves, and removals.
