## Summary

Colchester City Council bought multifunctional print devices for the council and Colchester Borough Homes. The requirement is for the supply of photocopiers and related multifunctional devices, with the work serving these organisations in Colchester, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KONICA MINOLTA Business Solutions UK Ltd. The award was made on 17 April 2026, for £67,000. The contract runs from 30 April 2026 to 29 April 2029, with two optional one-year extensions. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026. The council made a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6361 framework, using its multifunctional print devices lot. The procurement was evaluated through that framework route; no separate evaluation criteria are stated.

This award indicates demand from Colchester City Council and Colchester Borough Homes for the supply of multifunctional print devices. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply this equipment at a scale suited to both organisations and be able to compete through the relevant government framework route. The selected supplier is a large business, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers whose offer is limited to unrelated print services, or that cannot meet the framework route, are less closely aligned with this requirement.
