1. Document Output Devices
July 2013
Hello, I am Rebecca Sutherland from the Strategic Procurement Team and today I will be providing you with an overview of the supplier contract for Document Output Devices (such as MFDs and Printers).

2. Firstly…. a huge thank you!
Much support received – thank you
Co-operation is greatly appreciated
Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the IT staff across the University who have diligently answered thousands of my questions and been so patient whilst we work through the ordering process and I think we will be very successful in implementing the new tender arrangement across the University which will bring about significant savings.
Also, we have included a number of hyperlinks within this presentation that you will be able to access after today to assist you with locating the information and forms that we will discuss today.

3. Introduction
The Tender Panel appointed the below suppliers as the service providers of Document Output Devices to the University:
Fuji-Xerox – for the provision of Multifunction Devices (MFDs) and Multifunction Printers (MFPs).
Kyocera – for the provision of Printers only.
More information regarding our Preferred Suppliers can be found here.
In 2012, the University commenced a competitive procurement exercise to establish formal long-term contracting arrangements for the provision, support and maintenance of Document Output Devices. This procurement category was identified as a significant opportunity to rationalise the number of suppliers and the large range of devices whilst reducing internal costs associated with the management of a diverse range of suppliers and technologies.
A tender panel was formed which included key areas from across the University who agreed on an Acquisition Strategy, formulated tender documents, and evaluated the tendered responses.
The scope of the project includes all Document Output Devices located in student computer pools, libraries and the general office environment across all of the University’s campuses (including Regional Campuses) and administrative locations.
Within the Request for Tender document, the University reserved the right to award the MFD and Printer segments separately as the University would achieve further savings over the contract term by proceeding on the basis of the lowest-cost combination (being Fuji Xerox and Kyocera). The Tender Panel recommended the adoption of the lowest-cost option, whereby:
- Fuji Xerox was appointed as the preferred supplier for the provision, support and maintenance of Multi-Function Devices and Multi-Function Printers; and
- Kyocera was appointed as the preferred supplier for the provision, support and maintenance of Printers only.

4. A few stats…… Over 1,100 Document Output Devices University-wide:
200x MFDs
900x Printers
20x different suppliers
From the audit conducted in 2012 by completing a walk around and a scan of the network revealed that there are over 1,100 devices across the University.
This is made up of approximately 200 MFDs and over 900 Printers from over 20 different suppliers.
Each printer requires a different toner cartridge with some of the older devices equating to 30cents per page.
Storage is required for the large array of toner cartridges.
Many printers cannot print double sided.
Only one year manufacturers warranty with no ongoing maintenance and support if the device breaks down.
All of these factors end up costing the University a significant amount of money.

5. $3.14m savings over the life of the contract (5 years)
Beneficial outcomes……
Improved price-per-copy rates (click charges) and equipment costs;
Comprehensive support and maintenance services;
Pro-active fleet management services;
Consolidated invoicing; and
Options for future innovative print solutions.

6. Establishing Requirements
Assist with Document Output Device selection by asking some questions for consideration, including:
Where is the nearest Device?
Number of users?
What is the printing volume?
Colour or black and white printing?
Printing functionality (stapling, booklet making, scanning, faxing)?
Space available?
If you are still unsure, please contact one of our preferred suppliers for expert advice and guidance on selection of a Document Output Device.
This establishing requirements process has been documented in a ‘guide’ for future reference.
To assist with selecting the right Document Output Device ask the end user some questions to consider:
Where is the nearest Multifunction device?
Is it possible that they can use rather than purchasing a printer?
How many people will require access to the device?
What is the expected printing volume for the device?
Do they expect the volume to increase over the next 5 years?
What is the current space available for the new device? Will the proposed model fit?
These questions will help the end user in determining the best device for their environment.
We do however, recommend that the Contract Managers from Fuji Xerox and Kyocera are contacted for expert advice.
The Contract Managers can visit the site and determine the best printer solution as each case have their individual requirements.

8. Internal Leasing Applicable to MFDs (or ‘IT Leasing Rounds’)
Allows areas to spread the costs over a term where the capital funding has not been budgeted
Leasing calculator can be used to work out the repayments:
Equipment is the property of the University of South Australia from delivery.
Internal leases are available to Areas that have the requirement to purchase Multifunction Devices, however do not have sufficient funds available in their budgets. An internal lease provides the Areas with the ability to spread the cost of the equipment for a 5 year period. The initial purchase is paid from the University’s corporate cost centre and automated journals are set up to recoup the cost from the Areas over the term of the lease.
The leasing calculator is available on the Strategic Procurement webpage and will calculate the monthly instalments and total repayment amount so Cost Centre Manager’s are aware of the total cost.
