Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe University of Cyprus is seeking to procure the rental of multifunctional machines (photocopiers) to cover its printing needs. The contract concerns the provision of multifunction printing equipment and related services to serve the university's day-to-day printing and copying requirements across its facilities in Cyprus. The purpose is to ensure reliable printing capacity for the institution through a leasing arrangement rather than outright purchase of the machines.

As the official award notices state them, over the last 3 years. Tenders per lot count open and restricted procedures only: in a negotiated procedure or a direct award a single tender is the procedure itself. The country is the one the notice gives for the winner.
One dot per award, on the day it was signed, sized by its value. A ring is an award with no published value.
