Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract for a managed print service worth an estimated £4.5 million.
Historically, the water company has managed its own fleet of printers, relying on the printer suppliers to carry out maintenance, and to supply ink, toner and other supplies.
However, Thames said that while there had been partial reporting and cost attribution, limited network connectedness and the remote locations of many printers have restricted its ability to achieve its goals for fully attributing costs and managing print volumes.
The utility is now seeking to replace its existing fleet of printers with a managed print service. Thames Water’s broad aims are reducing excessive print volumes, increasing accountability for print costs, attributing print costs to users and reducing overall costs.
Any agreement awarded will be for an initial duration of 5 years, with options to extend up to a maximum overall term of 8 years.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 9th May 2019 – click here to access the tender documentation.
