## Summary

Kent County Council, through its Procurement Services function, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions. The requirement covers photocopiers, printers and plotters, together with associated digital solutions, under a single procurement lot. This is primarily a goods requirement for organisations able to supply and support workplace printing and document-processing equipment. The awarded supplier is Ricoh UK Limited, a large company. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority, so the requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors, managed print providers and technology businesses that can support public-sector equipment needs. The procurement is focused on the council’s operational requirement for multi-functional devices and digital solutions rather than a general IT services contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a selective below-threshold route using a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. The tender was evaluated through that framework route and resulted in one active award for the single lot. Ricoh UK Limited was selected on 8 September 2026. The contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2030 and has a gross value of £117,028. The contract is active and was signed on 8 September 2026. The award covers photocopiers, printers and plotters. This outcome shows that the council used a framework-based procurement for a defined equipment and digital-solutions requirement, rather than running an open competition for this purchase.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates established public-sector demand for multi-functional devices, photocopiers, printers, plotters and related digital solutions within Kent County Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply reliable workplace printing equipment and provide the associated digital capability as an integrated service. Experience supporting public-sector or other large organisational estates would help demonstrate an understanding of operational continuity, device management, servicing and user requirements. The procurement also shows that the council can buy this type of requirement through a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work should consider the relevant framework route and ensure they are positioned to meet its eligibility and delivery requirements.
