Ricoh UK has confirmed that its Business Process Services (BPS) team has helped to secure a place on the shortlist for Public Sector Outsourcing Project of the Year category, at the Global Sourcing Association (GSA) Awards in October.

Now in its fourteenth year, the GSA UK Awards brings together some of the UK’s leading outsourcing service providers to celebrate best practice and sourcing excellence.

The Ricoh UK entry was submitted with support from one of its public sector clients, a London borough council. The council is currently implementing dramatic changes to the way it delivers services to the community, part of the change is due to a new Framework agreement through which Ricoh is providing a range of digital transformation services.

The partnership between the council and Ricoh has already seen more efficient, smarter operations, a more agile workforce and a significant contribution to achieving the council’s aim of £100m in cost savings.

Julia Groves, Services Marketing Manager at Ricoh UK said, “these awards are highly regarded in the outsourcing industry and to be shortlisted for the third time over the past 18 months is a huge compliment.”

Winners will be announced on Thursday 19th October 2017 at the Intercontinental Park Lane, London.
