A report by the Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Finance sought the approval of the Cabinet to award a contract for the supply, installation and maintenance of photocopiers and multi-functional devices.  This followed a full tender process conducted in accordance with European Union regulations.  It was recommended that the contract be awarded to the highest scoring tender that provided the most economic advantage to the Council.

Tender details were provided in the Appendix to the report (Minute No. 268 refers) which was not for publication by virtue of paragraph(s) 3 of part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The contract was integral to the Council print strategy and was a project within the Change Programme.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)  the Cabinet awards the contract for the supply, installation and maintenance of multi-functional devices, photocopiers and desk top printers to the highest scoring tenderer; and

(2)  the Cabinet endorses the further rationalisation of printing devices in accordance with the Council print strategy.
