Information Officer, Serious Fraud Office

Dear Mr Steele,

 

Thank you for your email dated 4^th April 2020 in which you made a request
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). I have provided answers
to your request below:

 1. Please state the number of printers currently within the organization,
including a breakdown of number MFD´s, printers & photocopiers.

 

60

-          16 x MFDs

-          42 x Printers

-          2 x Photocopiers

 

 2. Please state the number of devices that are A3 compatible.

 

18

 

 3. What percentage of your fleet is printed in colour vs mono?

 

38.50%

 

-          Please note this figure excludes standalone printers, as this
information is not held centrally and we therefore exempt this data under
section 12 of the FOIA. Under section 12 of the FOIA, a public authority
does not have to comply with a request for information if complying with
the request would exceed the appropriate cost limit, which has been set at
£600. A flat rate of £25 per person, per hour, is given for determining
whether information is held, finding and retrieving records and extracting
the requested information.

 

This means the appropriate limit of £600 will be exceeded if more than 24
hours are required to complete the work, which I estimate would be the
case in this instance. I have explained why this is the case in the
paragraph below:

 

In order to include information for standalone printers we would be
required to send an engineer to each individual device, including those
located offsite, which we believe would exceed the 24 hour limit.

 

 4. In terms of usage, what is your monthly page volumes?

 

169,371, based on previous quarter figures

-          Excludes standalone printers, please see explanation above.

 

 5. Who are the main manufacturers for the printers (hardware)?

 

Hewlett Packard

 

 6. Who is your preferred supplier for Hardware?

 

N/A, tender competed through CCS open competition.

 

 7. Who are the main supplier(s) of print consumables (Toner, spares,
etc)?

 

MFD and photocopier consumables covered under service contract. Printer
consumables supplied by XMA.

 

 8. What is the approximate spend on printers and consumables during the
last year?

 

£33,446.52

 

 9. What Framework (if any) do you use for your print consumables (toners,
inks)

 

Overarching MFD and photocopier contracts tendered through CCS RM3781

 

10. What are the start and end dates for the managed print contract in
your organization (if applicable to the MFD´s)?

 

Start date - 6^th August 2018; End Date - 6^th August 2021

 

11. Which procurement route or framework was used to procure this service?

 

MFD contract tendered through CCS RM3781

 

12. The named person and their role in your organization in charge of the
procurement for Print Hardware

 

Fiona Moore, Chief Technology Officer

 

13. The named person and their role in your organization in charge of any
managed print contracts

 

Fiona Moore

 

14. The named person and their role in your organization in charge of
procurement for Print supplies (toner and ink)
