Via tender, chose an MPS lease with high-speed A3 devices (new Gestetner + secured remanufactured Ricoh), featuring secure print/audit logs, 5-year free maintenance, and pay-per-page. Outcomes: printing efficiency +60%, no data leaks, compliance passed, costs -30%.
The client is a district-level government administrative department in Singapore, responsible for policy document distribution, tender announcement preparation, and archival management. The department has strict requirements for equipment security, stability, and printing efficiency. In addition, all procurement activities must comply with government tender principles of transparency, openness, and cost efficiency.
Existing printing equipment was outdated, with slow A3 printing speeds, making it difficult to handle large volumes of documents during peak tender periods.
Government documents contain sensitive information, requiring strict data security measures to prevent information leakage during the printing process.
Government procurement budgets are limited, requiring control over equipment acquisition and subsequent operation and maintenance costs while meeting functional requirements.
Through a public government tender, an MPS (Managed Print Services) leasing solution was selected, supported by dedicated service provisions.

The solution was awarded at a cost of only a few dollars per day, with a two-year contract period, fully aligned with government budget control standards.
2.Password-protected printing modules were installed on all devices and integrated with enterprise collaboration software. Staff members must enter unique credentials to release print jobs. In addition, comprehensive print logs are retained to enable document traceability, ensuring full compliance with government security and confidentiality regulations.
3.The solution includes five years of free maintenance and repair services, with scheduled on-site inspections and the replacement of original-quality parts. A pay-per-print billing model is applied, charging only based on actual print volumes, effectively eliminating costs associated with idle equipment.
