## Summary

The Midlothian Council has awarded a contract for a Managed Print Service to Xerox (UK) Limited for a value of £363,077.78. The procurement process was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on June 28, 2023, with the goal of extending the current managed print service to address hybrid working printing requirements as part of the Council's post-Covid-19 Transformation of work practices.

This award presents business opportunities for suppliers of managed print services, particularly those capable of providing large-scale solutions. The Council's intention to issue a tender in the coming months indicates future opportunities for businesses to compete for similar contracts catering to public sector printing needs, in sectors such as general public services. Companies interested in bidding should monitor the Public Contracts Scotland website for updates on the upcoming tender and engage with the Midlothian Council's procurement team for further information.
