Another University of Wisconsin campus seeks to outsource document imaging services

On Saturday, April 16, 2011, we did a post on Reprographics 101 about a bid document released by the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse seeking to outsource its document services requirements:

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is seeking to enter into a local service agreement for printing services. The in-house Document Services unit will be closing on May 27, 2011 after the retirement of two long-term full-time employees. Given the age of the equipment and the high costs of equipment replacement, the University is looking at alternative ways of providing printing services to the UW-La Crosse community.”

Today, one of our frequent blog visitors brought to our attention that another University of Wisconsin campus is, apparently, making plans to do the same thing as the other University campus undertook. This time, it’s the University of Wisconsin-EauClaire campus:

Brief details are shown below; note the “due date” for submissions, if you are interested in submitting information:
