UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions under the requirement titled “Multi Functional Devices & Digital Solutions”. The identified goods are printers and plotters, within a wider requirement for multi-functional document equipment and associated digital solutions. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for Kent. Procurement Services is based in West Malling and acted for the council in managing the requirement. The opportunity was structured as a single lot. It concerns the supply of document-production equipment and related digital capability rather than construction or general professional services, making it relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and providers of managed document or print technology solutions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under a framework, using a non-competitive call-off route. The single lot was awarded to Kyocera Document Solutions UK. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with a gross value of £111,770. The award covers printers and plotters and is classified as goods. The contracting process was marked complete, while the resulting contract remains active. The recorded procurement route is framework-based rather than an open standalone competition, so the outcome reflects a framework call-off for Kent County Council’s multi-functional device and digital solutions requirement.

This award shows established demand from Kent County Council for multi-functional document equipment, printers, plotters and digital document solutions at a substantial multi-year scale. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have demonstrable capability in supplying and supporting multifunctional printing equipment, together with connected digital document solutions where required. Credibility would come from the capacity to manage a council-level equipment requirement over an extended contract term, maintain reliable supply and service arrangements, and operate through the relevant framework route used for this purchase. Manufacturers, authorised resellers and specialist managed print or document technology providers can use the result to benchmark the type of supplier and solution mix selected by this buyer.
