Summary
Machine-generated summaryBristol City Council is running a soft market test to explore systems available for print and mail services across buildings throughout its entire estate. The exercise aims to understand market capabilities and innovations. Interested solutions may comprise any of the following: managed print using multi-functional devices (MFDs), inbound mail, and outbound mail. This is not a commitment to purchase and not an invitation to tender; participation does not guarantee future business. Responses are used for information gathering only and will help the council assess market options and decide whether a formal procurement process should follow. Any later formal process will be advertised through usual public procurement channels. Documents are accessible via the ProContract portal.
