Defra -" UnITy Programme -" Managed Print Services.  

This contract is for the delivery of Managed Print Services. The contract will replace existing managed print services which are delivered by 2 separate service suppliers to the Environment Agency and Defra. The contract is for the provision of multi-functional printing devices, the maintenance of those devices and services which allow end users to print, fax and scan using those devices. The initial recipients of the services will be the Core Defra group (Defra, Natural England, The Environment Agency, The Rural Payments Agency, Marine Management Organisation and The Animal and Plant Health Agency). Other organisations in the Defra Group may opt to receive services during the term of the contract. The services will be provided in the service recipients' offices in the UK.  

NUTS Code : UK  

Main Site : 371 sites in England.  

The Managed Print Service will be provided to Defra and other organisations in the Core Defra Group (Natural England, The Environment Agency, The Rural Payments Agency, Marine Management Organisation and The Animal and Plant Health Agency). The following Defra Group organisations may opt to receive services during the term of the contract:  

-" Forestry Commission;  

-" The Water Services Regulation Authority;  

-" Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science;

The supplier will be required to provide the following:

-" Print-only devices;  

-" Large format printers; and  

-" Specialist printing to media other than paper.  

The current contracts deliver services to both Defra and the Environment Agency across 371 sites in the UK, of which 161 are offices, 131 stores or depots and the remainder a mixture of low print-useage facilities. Currently print volumes across the two providers are in the region of 3 400 000 black and white sheets per month and 1 900 000 colour sheets per month but the expectation is that these figures will reduce during the period of the proposed Contract via supplier-led initiatives.  

The service is to be made available to 21 000 staff across the UK.  

Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents. List and brief description of selection criteria: minimum turnover of 100 % of the proposed contract value; Financial standing of Standard and Poor grade 2; Public Liability Insurance to 2 000 000 GBP per event; Professional Indemnity Insurance of 1 000 000 GBP per event.  

The estimated total value is based on the estimated value of providing the services to Defra and the Environment Agency (11 290 000 GBP) for an 84-month term. That figure has been increased to reflect the possibility that a number of other Defra Group organisations will opt to receive services during the term of the contract taking the total to 11 900 000 GBP. If other Defra Group organisations do opt to receive services, the supplier will be required to provide services at other sites in the UK.
