Multi-Functional Devices

Tender description

The Contracting Authority's estate comprises 158 multi-functional devices (MFDs) that serve as a critical operational backbone for the police force by bridging digital workflows with strict legal and administrative requirements. Following the expiration of the previous contract on 20th May 2026, transitioning to a new supplier is unfeasible due to severe statutory risks, operational disruption, and complex technical architecture compatibility issues. Consequently, the force requires the contractual flexibility to scale its MFD fleet size in alignment with changes to the Humberside Police estate. This adaptability balances operational and statutory mandates with the efficiency savings central to public procurement and the force's strategic goals.
