## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions. The requirement covers photocopiers, printers and plotters, classified under CPV codes 30121100 and 30232100. It was arranged as a single-lot procurement for the council. The available information identifies Kent County Council as the buying organisation; the contract work is therefore associated with the council’s requirements in Kent. The procurement concerns goods rather than construction or professional services, with the equipment and related digital solutions forming the core requirement. Businesses supplying, configuring or supporting business printing and copying equipment are the most directly relevant potential competitors for comparable future requirements from this buyer.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework, with competition recorded as not used. The single lot was awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026, has a period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030, and is valued at £32,100 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was treated as below the applicable threshold. Evaluation was conducted through the framework award route rather than an open competition, so the relevant route for understanding the outcome is the buyer’s use of an existing framework for the devices and solutions.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Kent County Council’s future requirements. A credible competitor would need to supply commercial photocopiers, printers and plotters, and support the associated digital solutions rather than offering standalone consumer equipment. The requirement indicates demand for an established business-equipment provider able to operate through a public-sector framework and fulfil a council-scale order. Sharp Business UK PLC, the successful supplier, is recorded as a large organisation, suggesting that capacity, dependable fulfilment and the ability to manage an end-to-end equipment requirement are relevant competitive considerations. Suppliers should therefore be positioned around managed print or multifunctional-device capability, framework access and public-sector delivery experience.
