Xerox secures long-term MOD contract

Xerox has entered into a long-term, sustainability focused partnership with the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

Under the deal, Xerox will utilise its Managed Print Services to support the MOD with its aim to meet Government Greening targets for net-zero carbon emissions before 2050, as well as reduce paper consumption.

Using its Managed Print Services, Xerox will assist the MOD with reducing device numbers, energy consumption and the volume of printed and photocopied material, with the service providing management information and analytics on service consumption.

In addition, Xerox will enrol the MOD in both its PrintReleaf reforestation program and its Eco Box service that provides for the return of used imaging supplies.

“This win marks a continuation of Xerox’s 10 year plus relationship with the MOD and it’s a true testament to the team that we are now seen as such a trusted advisor,” says Darren Cassidy, managing director for Xerox UK and Irelad. 

“As part of the new contract, Xerox take over services supporting 35,000+ print devices, for over 200,000 users, across 866 locations and 21 countries. During 2022 and 2024 we will be transitioning, scoping, testing, and securing devices to maintain print and copy quality and productivity, whilst supporting MOD’s operational requirements. 

“Additionally, we’ll work with the MOD to heighten understanding of the environmental impact and costs of printing, encouraging users to truly think about whether it is necessary.”
