## Summary

Chorley and South Ribble Borough Councils procured the supply and leasing of multifunction printers, together with associated software and fixed service charges. The requirement covers computer supplies and related support services delivered for the councils’ operations, under Lot 1 of the Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products and Services framework. The buyer is South Ribble Borough Council, based at the Civic Centre in Leyland. The procurement is categorised as a services requirement, although the underlying delivery includes leased printing equipment, software and ongoing service provision. It is therefore relevant to suppliers that combine managed print equipment with software, maintenance and service-charge arrangements for public-sector customers, rather than businesses supplying standalone office consumables or unrelated IT services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 16 March 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made on 23 March 2026. RICOH UK LIMITED was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £70,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with participation restricted to suppliers appointed to the relevant framework lot. The procurement records the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although this award went to a large supplier. No separate lot awards or cancelled awards are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of demand from local government for leased multifunction printers supported by software and predictable service charges. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable print hardware, manage leasing arrangements and deliver continuing maintenance or support across a council environment. Experience of public-sector managed print services and the ability to operate through a framework call-off route would be commercially important. Suppliers should also be able to package equipment, software and fixed service costs into a straightforward service model, with the operational capacity to support the councils throughout a multi-year arrangement. Smaller businesses may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate comparable delivery capability.
