Short Description of the Contract
The Government Property Agency (GPA), an executive agency of the Cabinet Office, is responsible for making great places for Civil Servants to work. Part of the GPA's objectives is to deploy interoperable office technology across the Civil Service office estate.
One of these technologies is GovPrint, a cloud based follow me print and scan service enabling Civil Servants to easily print in any building GovPrint is deployed in.
GovPrint is a critical part of the GPA's interoperable technology suite of products, along with GovWifi, GovPass, Audio Visual, and Shared Networks.
To enable GovPrint to scale across the Civil Servant office estate, the GPA are intending to procure GovPrint in two parts:
Devices and Associated Services - Procured via upcoming Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework RM6174 GovPrint Specific Lot (see PIN 2023/S 000-033968)
Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) - Procured via GPA that this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is providing notification for.
The GovPrint Cloud service will be procured via a two stage Restricted Procedure Competition. The contract is for an initial term of 3 years and five extension options of 1 year each (3+1+1+1+1+1), for a maximum contract length of 8 years and a maximum contract value of £9.75m.
