UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multifunction devices and related digital solutions for its requirements. The goods include photocopiers and printers; the title also indicates digital solutions as part of the requirement. The award covers one lot. The recorded item classifications identify photocopiers (CPV 30121100) and printers and plotters. The procurement was managed by the council, a sub-central public authority, and awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. No delivery location or further detail on the digital solutions is stated in the available scope. This is a requirement for suppliers of office imaging equipment and associated digital solutions, rather than a general IT or office supplies contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Kent County Council used a selective route to award under a framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2030. Its gross value is £147,182. The recorded procurement category is goods. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are detailed in the process information. The award is for the photocopier and printer-related requirement, within the wider multifunction devices and digital solutions procurement.

This award shows demand from Kent County Council for multifunction photocopiers, printers and related digital solutions through a framework-based purchasing route. Sharp Business UK PLC, recorded as a large supplier, was selected for the requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with this buyer would need to demonstrate that they can supply and support office imaging equipment and deliver any associated digital solutions within a comparable framework arrangement. The scope points to a combination of physical devices and supporting solutions, so credibility will depend on relevant product capability and the ability to meet the council’s operational requirements across that combined offer. The procurement information does not establish further technical standards, service levels or accreditations, so no more specific capability threshold can be inferred.
