This initiative is part of their planning stage and targets the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on the North West region of the United Kingdom. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018, indicating the timeline for potential suppliers to engage with the Trust. The tender is designed for the term rental of high and medium capacity networked printers, aiming to enhance the organisation's operational efficiency. This tender presents ample opportunity for businesses specialising in office equipment, particularly those that provide managed printing services and printer technologies suitable for healthcare environments. Companies that offer solutions with capabilities for patient record scanning and maintenance support across large areas would be particularly well-suited to participate. With the expected need for technological innovation and consistent service support, businesses that can demonstrate past experience in NHS or national healthcare contexts may have a competitive advantage in this tender. ## Notice Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust ('CPFT') are inviting expressions of interest for the supply, on a term rental basis, of a range of high & medium capacity Networked, Individual User Access, Multi Function Printers (MFP's) solutions for use in a range of shared services offices. The proposal will also be likely to include a range of Medium & Smaller Output Office (Desk Based) Networked Print options. The larger machinery will often need to deliver mono & colour printing in some areas. A4 & A3 paper stock is used regularly in larger machinery locations. Some of the largest capacity users require duplexing & other added value services. CPFT are actively working toward delivering a Consolidated Patient Record Interface for its clinician & record management teams. As such expressions are particularly welcome from technology suppliers that can accommodate the ease of Patient Record or Clinical Note Scanning into a format that is sympathetic to the transferral of such data into proprietary Electronic Patient Records systems, particularly those such as 'Rio' & 'EMIS'. Such advances are of particular interest provided the technology is already proven in an NHS or National Healthcare Provider environment. Other technological features that would be of interest include 'Dashboard' type ease of access for Asset, Consumable & User Consumption as well as cost efficiencies in Consumables Costs &/or Waste & Cartridge Recycling. For reference purposes our current rental arrangement comprises a fleet of approximately 290 machines on a Print Managed (click) charge basis whereby CPFT maximises its sales tax (VAT) efficiency. Intended Expressions should be made from an organisation capable of ultimately offering similar services including a provision of Inks/Toners & other consumables (excluding paper stock). A prerequisite of any foreseeable proposition would be the supplier ability to comply with a consistent High Level of Service Support including, but not limited to, the capacity to Manage Machine Breakdown & Maintenance in a timely professional manner across a large, rural county (Cumbria). Additional information: Expressions of Interest are sought on the strict understanding that this Invitation Does Not Constitute an Offer or any other Intent To Conduct Business Transactions in this matter. CPFT are exploring the technological & other benefits available to their possible future circumstances without any inference that it intends to contract with a supplier. Any & all costs incurred by the Interested Party or their agents in the preparation of materials & response to this Notice is done so at the expense of the Interested Party & remain non recoverable from CPFT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e516f00f-a9a3-438b-847e-1cdbe654814f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF MORECAMBE BAY NHS TRUST | | Locality | PENRITH | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA11 7QQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Penrith North | | Westminster constituency | Penrith and Solway | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30232110 - Laser printers - 30232130 - Colour graphics printers - 30232150 - Inkjet printers ## Release History - 29 Nov 2016 at 10:22 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e516f00f-a9a3-438b-847e-1cdbe654814f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e516f00f-a9a3-438b-847e-1cdbe654814f 29th November 2016 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.cumbriapartnership.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
