Tender: Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College – Supply, Installation and Managed Multi‑Functional Printing Devices and Print Management Services

About

Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College in central Birmingham is seeking a partner to supply, install and manage multi‑functional printing devices and provide managed print services across its campus. The college, which has circa 3,100 students and 250 staff and was rated Outstanding by OFSTED in February 2024, also includes provision for adult learners in an annexe opposite the main building; the main building was a new build around 15 years ago with an extension opened in September 2024. This procurement, advertised because current arrangements are reaching the end of their contractual term, seeks an innovative five‑year partner to deliver and develop MFD provision; the existing estate is Ricoh but bidders may propose equipment they consider appropriate at Stage 2. Required services include provision of a range of multi‑functional devices, installation and commissioning, handover and training, uniform maintenance, automated consumable fulfilment, print management software, ethical equipment disposal, a full service level agreement, monitoring, management and reporting, relevant training, a single technical interface to the college’s outsourced ICT team, and value‑added services.
