Details

The Corporation of the City of Stratford is seeking proposals from qualified Proponents for the supply, installation, maintenance, support, and lifecycle management of a managed printer, copier, scanner, and multifunction device fleet. The City requires a flexible, tiered fleet that supports administrative, operational, public-facing, and client-service environments across multiple City facilities. The successful Proponent will be expected to recommend an optimized fleet configuration that balances cost control, service delivery, confidentiality, accessibility, reliability, and operational efficiency. The City does not intend to apply a uniform device standard across all departments. Proponents must demonstrate how their proposed fleet will address low-volume shared administrative use, high-volume municipal administration, client-service workflows, public-facing patron printing, operational field locations, and specialized document handling. The solution must include device supply, installation, configuration, maintenance, consumables, service response, reporting, user training, fleet optimization, and support for moves/adds/changes over the contract term. The City expects the successful Proponent to provide proactive, ongoing service management, including consumables monitoring and replenishment recommendations, accurate meter reporting, timely escalation and resolution of recurring issues, and replacement recommendations where devices do not perform reliably. The successful Proponent is also expected to provide practical, easy-to-understand recommendations to improve document management, identify potential integrations with the City’s current and future software environment, and support overall print, scan, workflow, and operational efficiency improvements.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this transport & logistics opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
