## Summary

The Manchester City Council has completed a procurement process designated as "TC435 - Provision of a Multifunctional Device and Print Management Service." This initiative falls under the category of office and computing machinery, with a project value of £2,500,000. The procurement, which was initiated through a tender, involved the replacement of the current printer estate across approximately 125 sites in Greater Manchester.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on print management solutions, particularly those providing multifunctional devices and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the flexibility required to meet the service demands at various locations. Suppliers capable of offering comprehensive managed print solutions, complete with software support and maintenance, would be especially well-suited for this procurement opportunity, which aims to enhance the digital capabilities of Manchester City Council.
