## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) is conducting a public procurement process for the "UKSBS Print Solution," aimed at replacing the existing managed print solution across various locations in the UK. This initiative falls under the computer equipment and supplies industry category, with a contract valued at £413,224.87. The procurement method used is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 10 May 2018, and the contract duration spans from 18 June 2018 to 17 January 2023, with the service expected to be fully cloud-based, in alignment with the government's cloud-first policy.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in cloud-based print solutions and managed services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative and efficient technologies. Companies that specialise in high-volume printing solutions or cloud computing services would be well-suited to compete. Involvement in this contract can facilitate growth by fostering partnerships with public sector clients, enhancing visibility in the market, and leading to potential future contracts with similar government bodies.
