## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions under the requirement titled “Multi Functional Devices & Digital Solutions”. The awarded goods are printers and plotters, within a wider requirement for multi-functional device and related digital solutions. The council is a sub-central public authority based in West Malling, Kent. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and concerns the supply of equipment rather than construction or other works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Kent County Council used a selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. One supplier was selected: Sharp Business UK PLC. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Its gross value is £68,608. The award covers the single lot for printers and plotters. The contract is active, and the award is active. The process is linked to a framework agreement, so the route used was a framework award rather than an open tender.

This procurement indicates demand from Kent County Council for a supplier able to provide multi-functional devices, printers and plotters, together with associated digital solutions. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need product capability across business printing and multifunction equipment, as well as the capacity to support a public-sector customer through a framework-based purchasing route. Sharp Business UK PLC, a large supplier, was selected for this requirement, indicating that established capability and the operational capacity to deliver the equipment and associated solutions at council scale are relevant competitive strengths. Suppliers focused only on unrelated digital services or general office goods would be less aligned with this demand.
