Description

on the corporate network.

Disability Supported Accommodation Service and Short Breaks Service).
• supply device consumables (this includes toners, cartridges and staples, but excludes
paper).
• provide support and maintenance across the Service.
• provide enhanced Management Information (MI) across the solutions.

The Contract period will be for 5 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 2
