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. The equipment requirement is classified as goods and covers one lot. It is a purchasing requirement for suppliers of office printing and copying equipment and associated digital solutions. The council is the buyer; the successful supplier was Kyocera Document Solutions UK. The procurement information does not identify a specific delivery location, so the requirement should be understood as the council’s equipment purchase rather than work at a named site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kyocera Document Solutions UK. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026, with a period running from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029. Its value is £41,191 gross. The process used a selective method and the award was made under a below-threshold framework. It was a single-lot purchase. The award information identifies multifunctional devices and digital solutions, specifically photocopiers and printers, but does not set out separate evaluation criteria or weightings.

For suppliers competing when Kent County Council next buys this requirement, the relevant capability is supplying multifunctional office devices, photocopiers and printers, together with the digital solutions covered by the purchase. The award shows that the council used a framework route for a modest-scale, single-lot equipment requirement, rather than running a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would therefore need to be able to supply the equipment and solutions through an appropriate framework and deliver a coherent offer across the requirement. Kyocera Document Solutions UK, a large supplier, won this award; this indicates that suppliers with established document-solutions capability are active competitors for this type of council purchase. The procurement does not establish additional accreditation, technical capacity or experience requirements.
