## Summary

Kent County Council, through its Procurement Services function, procured multi-functional devices and associated digital solutions. The requirement is categorised as goods and includes printers and plotters (CPV 30232100). It concerns the supply of equipment used for printing and related digital document functions, with the procurement titled “Multi Functional Devices & Digital Solutions”. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in West Malling, Kent. The award covers one lot and the identified requirement is focused on supplying multi-functional printing equipment and connected digital solutions to support the council’s operational document-production needs. The procurement was conducted for the council rather than for a commercial customer or private-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework. It was non-competitive. One active award was made to Sharp Business UK PLC, covering the single lot. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £96,197. The contract is active, and the award remains active. The published outcome therefore records a concluded framework-based purchase rather than an ongoing competition. The procurement concerns one awarded requirement, with Sharp Business UK PLC identified as the selected supplier.

This outcome indicates established public-sector demand for multi-functional printing devices, printers, plotters and related digital solutions within Kent County Council. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need to supply and support business-grade printing equipment, understand digital document workflows and operate effectively in a public-sector procurement environment. The selected supplier is a large business, suggesting that the requirement can suit providers with the operational capacity, product range and service infrastructure to support a council-wide equipment and solutions requirement. Suppliers should also be able to compete through framework-based, below-threshold routes and demonstrate a clear fit between their device portfolio and associated digital capabilities.
