Sustainability and Security: The managed print solution is expected to align with UN principles on sustainability and environmental responsibility, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, and responsible end of life management. Robust security controls for users, devices, networks, and data will be essential. Purpose of the REOI: This Request for Expression of Interest is issued solely to identify vendors with the baseline operational capability and readiness to deliver managed print services of the type described above.
