## Summary

Leeds Arts University procured multifunction devices, printers and a managed print service, covering the supply of printing equipment and its ongoing management. The requirement is for goods and associated print services for the university. Delivery is described as potentially covering the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The procurement is classified as printer and plotter equipment (CPV 30232100).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The award was made on 5 August 2026 to VISION (OFFICE AUTOMATION) LIMITED. The stated award value is £235,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026. The procurement was described as a compliant framework call-off, using a procedure recorded as “Other”. No lots are identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from Leeds Arts University, this award indicates demand for a combined supply of multifunction devices and printers with a managed print service. A credible competitor would need to provide both suitable printing equipment and the ongoing service needed to manage it, rather than equipment alone. The buyer selected a large supplier, indicating that the work was awarded to a provider operating at substantial scale; SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked unsuitable for this procurement. The requirement’s broad stated delivery coverage also points to the importance of being able to support equipment and service delivery across the university’s specified locations.
