## Summary

Warwickshire County Council has finalised a procurement process concerning the extension of its current contract for Multi-Functional Devices (MFDs). The initiative involves the council's existing partnership with Canon (UK) Limited to continue providing essential printing and related services across various council sites. This direct award, which bypasses a full competitive tender due to organisational restructuring within the local government, has been confirmed with a signed contract value of £210,000. This arrangement will extend from 1st May 2026 until 30th April 2028, with all services taking place within the UKG region of the United Kingdom. This direct procurement decision aligns with the Council’s legal obligations under the current legislative framework while accommodating the complexities of regional administrative restructuring.

This contract extension signifies a strategic opportunity for Canon (UK) Limited to solidify its market presence and ensures continuity of service at a critical time of local government transition. Businesses specialising in similar services, such as providers of printing services, MFDs, and related solutions, might look to this circumstance as a case study in maintaining service during government reorganisation phases. However, given the decision for a direct award in this instance, it primarily benefits established partners. Future opportunities may arise for businesses capable of offering innovative solutions, scalability, and competitive pricing to meet evolving council needs post-reorganisation.

## Notice

There is an existing contract for WCC's fleet of Multifunctional Devices (MFDs / printers) and print management software used across the estate which has been in place with a single supplier, Canon. There are approximately 150 devices spread across WCC sites, the majority of which are still in regular use. Although the devices are approaching the later stages of their expected lifecycle, the majority still have an estimated two years of viable and cost-effective operational life remaining. The Council is unable to accurately specify its future requirements due to its inclusion in the on-going local government reorganisation process and has therefore decided to enter into a new contract with Canon to extend the agreement for the current devices.

### Procurement Information

The Council is unable to conduct a procurement exercise for MFD's at this time due to its participation in the local government reorganisation process. The Council is therefore entering into a new contract with the supplier of the current devices to extend their lifecycle for an additional two year period.
