UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, through Procurement Services, bought multifunction devices and digital solutions, including photocopiers and printers. The requirement is for equipment and related digital solutions; the procurement does not describe the delivery location.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. It was run as a below-threshold award under a framework, using a selective route without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 14 November 2026 to 13 November 2031. Its gross value is £32,200. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the devices and solutions awarded to Sharp.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for multifunction devices and digital solutions, including photocopiers and printers, through a framework arrangement. A credible competitor would need to supply the equipment and associated digital solutions within the scope of this requirement and be able to serve a public-sector buyer through a framework route. The awarded contract was relatively small in scale, so this is evidence of a focused equipment requirement rather than a large, multi-lot programme. The procurement does not state additional technical qualifications, accreditations or experience requirements.
