## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices (MFDs) and associated services for its operations. The requirement covers both leased and purchased equipment, with the awarded item classified as printers and plotters. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Kent. The procurement was arranged as one completed lot and was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres (SCC) Plc, a large Birmingham-based technology supplier. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of multifunction printers and related equipment, together with the servicing, support, supply and leasing arrangements needed to operate such devices. The scope is focused on workplace printing and associated device services rather than general IT systems or unrelated office equipment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres (SCC) Plc under one lot. It used a selective procedure and was described as a below-threshold award under a framework; the process was not competitive at this stage. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its gross value is £110,921. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation and selection basis is therefore the framework route and the buyer’s decision to make a below-threshold award, rather than an open competition for this call-off. The requirement concerns leased and purchased multifunctional devices and associated services, with printers and plotters identified as the relevant product category.

This award demonstrates established demand from Kent County Council for multifunctional printing equipment supplied through a framework route, covering both leasing and purchase models and associated services. Competitors would need to provide printers and plotters suitable for a public-sector organisation, and to support the commercial and operational requirements of devices supplied over a multi-year arrangement. A credible supplier would also need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent route that permits this type of below-threshold award. The incumbent is a large technology provider, indicating that suppliers competing when the requirement next returns would need sufficient organisational capacity to supply equipment and maintain associated services at council scale. Firms specialising in managed print, multifunctional devices, leasing, hardware supply or device support may find this buyer and requirement commercially relevant.
