Dear Miss Garber
Further to the acknowledgement below, I can now respond to your FOI
request received on 5^th November 2012 as follows:
The Council’s ICT Service Infrastructure is provided by Oxfordshire County
Council under a Partnership Agreement. PC replacement over a five-year
period is covered by the contract. Requests for Information about this
equipment would need to be directed to the County Council.
Total spend on printing consumables came to £31,732 for all Services Areas
in 2011/12. This figure excludes click charges for MFDs/ photocopiers,
which came to a total of £37,288 in 2011-12. A breakdown of transactions
for both toner and click charges is attached.
As the Council uses such a wide range of cartridges, a complete breakdown
of unit costs is not readily available. However, I attach a single large
invoice as a representative sample of the prices that is paid for toner.
Yours sincerely
Michael Newman
