## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions for its requirements. The purchase covers physical office equipment, specifically photocopiers, printers and plotters, together with associated digital solutions described by the procurement title. This is a goods requirement for the council and its public-service operations. The named buyer is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The awarded supplier is Sharp Business UK PLC. The equipment and related solutions are associated with the council’s procurement activity, with the contracting authority based at Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent. The requirement was organised as a single lot and centres on workplace printing and document-production equipment rather than construction, consultancy or general information-technology services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Kent County Council selected Sharp Business UK PLC for the single lot covering multi-functional devices and digital solutions. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030, and has a gross value of £36,539. The process used a selective method, with the award made below threshold under an existing framework. It was a non-competitive framework award rather than an open competition. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was classified as goods, with the equipment categories covering photocopiers and printers and plotters. No separate award values or additional awarded suppliers are recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indicator of Kent County Council’s demand for workplace printing equipment and related digital solutions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply multi-functional devices, photocopiers, printers and plotters, and provide digital capabilities aligned with those devices. The procurement also shows that the buyer can use a framework route for a below-threshold purchase and may make a non-competitive award from that route. Sharp Business UK PLC is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the scale to support a public-sector equipment requirement over several years. Relevant businesses should therefore assess framework access, equipment supply capacity and public-sector delivery capability.
