UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions for its public-sector operations. The awarded requirement covers printers and plotters, including inkjet printers, under the broader category of office printing and document-output equipment. The procurement was managed by Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The supplier selected was Kyocera Document Solutions UK, a large UK-based document technology company. The requirement was structured as one lot and concerns the supply of physical printing equipment rather than construction or a standalone consultancy service. Businesses active in commercial printers, multi-functional devices, inkjet printing equipment or associated digital document solutions would be operating in the relevant market for this procurement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Kyocera Document Solutions UK. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £76,235. The process used a selective procurement method, with the award made under a framework agreement below the applicable threshold. It was not a competitive call-off. There was one completed lot, covering printers and plotters, including inkjet printers. The recorded outcome is an active award and an active contract. The award was made through Kent County Council’s framework-based purchasing route, providing a clear example of the buyer’s approach to acquiring this type of equipment and solution.

This procurement is commercially relevant to suppliers of multi-functional printers, plotters, inkjet printers and digital document solutions that can supply a public authority through an established framework route. The selected supplier’s scale indicates that credible competitors should be able to support an organisation-wide public-sector requirement, manage equipment supply reliably and provide document technology solutions rather than isolated consumer products. Businesses considering future work with Kent County Council should assess their access to suitable frameworks, public-sector compliance arrangements and capacity to deliver a complete printing and document-output offer. Relevant experience would include supplying comparable devices and supporting the operational needs associated with a council-scale customer. The requirement indicates recurring public-sector demand for managed printing and digital document equipment.
