Summary of the contracting process

Mid Sussex District Council procured a lease of multi-functional devices (MFDs), covering office and computing equipment and supplies. The requirement is categorised as goods and is intended to support the council’s office operations. Delivery is in the South East of England, for the council based at Oaklands in Haywards Heath. The buyer is Mid Sussex District Council. This is a public-sector requirement for a supplier able to provide MFD equipment under a managed leasing arrangement. The procurement concerns the devices themselves and associated delivery to the council’s operating location. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist office equipment providers as well as larger national suppliers with public-sector experience.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Mid Sussex District Council used a selective direct award call-off from the Crescent Purchasing Consortium Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products and Services Framework, rather than running an open competition. The response deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 1 June 2026 to APOGEE CORPORATION LTD for £63,789, with the same value recorded for the award. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2030. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. The award is active and the contract period is four years.

For a supplier assessing future public-sector demand, this award shows Mid Sussex District Council’s need for leased multi-functional devices over a substantial council contract period. A credible competitor would need a dependable range of office MFDs, the operational capacity to supply and support equipment for a district council, and the financial and organisational strength to deliver a four-year leasing arrangement. Experience of public-sector procurement would be particularly useful, as this requirement was placed through the Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework by direct award. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore understand framework participation and call-off processes, while maintaining capability suited to council-wide office equipment requirements. Specialist SMEs may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate comparable delivery capacity and relevant customer experience.
