The RM6174 framework provides public sector organisations with an effective procurement route to access state-of-the-art multifunctional devices. These devices are pivotal for tasks such as printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, thereby improving operational efficiency. Contracting authorities utilise this framework to streamline their document workflows, reduce operational costs, and enhance productivity through managed print services and digital solutions.
