## Summary

Kent County Council, through its Procurement Services function in West Malling, procured multi-functional devices and associated services under the title “Multi Functional Devices & Digital Solutions”. The requirement covers the leasing and purchase of multi-functional devices, together with related services. The awarded equipment includes photocopiers, printers and plotters. This is primarily a goods requirement, with associated service provision connected to the devices and digital solutions. It is relevant to suppliers of business printing and copying equipment, managed print services, device leasing or purchasing, and supporting digital office solutions. The procurement was for the council’s operational requirements rather than a construction, consultancy or general information technology services contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, without a competitive process for this award. One completed lot was awarded to The DMS Digital Group Limited. The award was made on 11 August 2026 for £335,725 gross, including VAT, and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Kent County Council is the buyer. The award is above the relevant threshold and was made under the framework route. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award covers photocopiers, printers and plotters associated with the multi-functional devices and digital solutions requirement.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a combined supply and service model covering multi-functional devices, photocopiers, printers, plotters and digital office solutions. The successful competitor was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist supplier rather than only by a large national manufacturer. Businesses best placed for comparable work would have credible capability in supplying, leasing and maintaining workplace printing equipment, alongside the operational capacity to support a long-term council contract. Experience integrating devices with digital workflows and providing dependable associated services would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be comfortable accessing public-sector demand through framework agreements and competing through selective procurement routes.
