## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council procured managed print services covering printing, copying, scanning and associated document workflows. This is a business technology service combining print and document-handling equipment with the systems and workflows needed to manage those activities. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The requirement is for the council’s managed print service rather than a general office supplies contract, making it relevant to providers able to deliver and support integrated printing, copying and scanning services for a public-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC. The award was made on 16 September 2026, at a value of £440,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The estimated tender value was also £440,000. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026. The procurement is categorised as a services contract; its method is recorded as “Other”, without further detail. The evaluation basis and any lot structure are not set out in the available procurement details.

The award demonstrates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for a managed service spanning printing, copying, scanning and associated document workflows. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to bring together the technical capability to manage print equipment and document workflows, and the capacity to support these functions as an integrated service for a county council. The selected provider is a large supplier, and the council marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. That signals a requirement suited to suppliers able to operate at organisational scale. Experience delivering managed print services across public-sector environments would be relevant to demonstrating the ability to meet a comparable requirement when it next reaches the market.
