Central government

Print for central government

Civil servants move between buildings and departments. Their printing should move with them.

How Cirros fits

  • GovPrint, delivered by the Government Property Agency, gives departments one shared print network: 57 government organisations and around 83,000 users, as at August 2026
  • Staff sign in at the printer with the GovPass card they already carry, using Elatec readers
  • Devices from Xerox, Canon, Ricoh and HP, the official suppliers on Government Commercial Agency agreement RM6361 Lot 4 (formerly Crown Commercial Service)
  • The GovPrint private cloud runs at 99.96% availability, assessed to the GovAssure CAF Enhanced Profile

Proof point

Staff from 39 of GovPrint's 57 member organisations print on each other's devices every day, across 99 routes between organisations, up from 27 in January 2025. Around 186,000 pages a month are printed by staff away from their home organisation. Read the case study.
