## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multifunction devices and digital solutions for its public-sector operations. The requirement covers photocopiers, printers and plotters, combining physical equipment with associated digital capabilities. It is classified primarily as a goods purchase, with the equipment identified under CPV codes 30121100 for photocopiers and 30232100 for printers and plotters. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority based at West Malling. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, rather than separate published lots, and the selected supplier is responsible for providing the equipment and solution covered by that requirement.

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 call-off. Sharp Business UK PLC was awarded the requirement on 7 August 2026 for £31,955 gross. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. It is an active contract and the award is active. The contracting process relates to one completed lot. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the award covers the identified photocopier, printer and plotter requirement. No separate supplier awards are recorded.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for multifunction devices, printers, plotters and related digital solutions within Kent County Council. A credible future competitor would need to supply and support business-grade document-production equipment, while understanding how physical devices connect with digital workflows and public-sector operating requirements. Relevant capability may include equipment specification, installation, maintenance, consumables management, user support and reliable service delivery across a council environment. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework-based purchasing route and demonstrate the capacity expected of a large organisation serving a substantial public authority. Sharp Business UK PLC’s selection indicates that established scale and a broad office-technology offer are relevant strengths.
