This tender is designated in the office machinery and equipment industry category and seeks to facilitate a move towards a consumption-based approach for managed print services across multiple locations and to mobile workers. Key dates include a market engagement webinar on 7th November 2018, with closing dates for participation registration on 31st October and 16th November 2018, respectively, located in England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the technology and software sectors, to innovate and deliver solutions that cater to government needs for secure and efficient managed printing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage in this process, showcasing their capabilities in providing Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions and systems consultancy services that can improve public sector operations. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and Government Digital Service (GDS) are making an approach to the market in order to discuss and identify potential software solutions to deliver a cloud based managed print solution supporting a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model to Central Government. The requirement is for a software solution only supporting a SaaS delivery model; it does not include the provision of hardware and will not impact any live CCS commercial agreement. Project background GDS has been evaluating the requirement for general office (i.e. distributed fleet of printers and multi-functional devices) cloud printing across a range of central government departments and public bodies. This research has identified a number of common requirements across multiple organisations. Government departments want to: - Move to a consumption-based model for managed print services - Adopt a cloud first approach to delivering managed print services - Provide managed print services across multiple locations including shared office locations or locations managed by other departments - Provide managed print services to mobile workers and staff that work in multiple locations including shared office locations - Provide a secure managed print service. In addition to the above requirements there are an increasing number of buildings that host multiple government organisations and it is UK Government policy to implement more printing in shared locations.
