UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, bought multifunctional devices and digital solutions, including photocopiers and printers or plotters. The procurement concerns the supply of equipment rather than works or a stated standalone service, and was awarded as one lot. The equipment supports the council’s document production and printing needs. The contract is associated with the council; no delivery location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Kyocera Document Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2031. Its value is £56,846 including VAT. Kent County Council procured the requirement below the applicable threshold through an award under a framework, using a selective process. The process comprised one lot, awarded to a single supplier. The published details do not set out the evaluation criteria or a separate award date.

This award shows that Kent County Council buys multifunctional document equipment, specifically photocopiers and printers or plotters, through a framework route. Suppliers competing when this requirement next comes to market would need to offer equipment across those product types and demonstrate the ability to deliver a council-scale supply contract over a multi-year period. The selected supplier is a large document solutions business, indicating that an established provider was successful on this occasion. Equipment suppliers and document technology firms with relevant public-sector supply experience are therefore the closest competitors; providers focused only on unrelated digital services or printing work would be less directly aligned with the requirement.
