## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multi-functional devices and digital solutions. The requirement covers photocopiers and printers, including associated equipment or solutions within that scope. The procurement is categorised as goods and was arranged for the council’s public-sector operations. The awarded supplier is Sharp Business UK PLC, a large business specialising in office imaging equipment and related business technology. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and providers of multi-functional print devices, printers, plotters and supporting digital solutions. Businesses with a portfolio covering both copying and printing equipment would be aligned with the requirement. The procurement relates to one completed lot and is specific to Kent County Council’s purchasing needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Kent County Council used a selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework, and the process was non-competitive. One lot was completed. Sharp Business UK PLC was awarded the contract, which was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2031. Its gross value is £118,975. The contract is active and the award is active. The arrangement therefore represents a framework-based purchase rather than an open competition for this contract. Evaluation details recorded for the procurement do not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The contract concerns photocopiers and printers under the completed lot.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for multi-functional devices and digital solutions within Kent County Council, with demand covering both photocopiers and printers. The successful supplier profile shows that a credible competitor would need the scale and operational capacity to support a public-sector device requirement over a multi-year contract. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, authorised distributors and managed print or office technology providers able to supply multi-functional equipment, printers and plotters as a coherent offering. Experience serving public-sector or other sizeable organisations, dependable fulfilment, equipment support and the ability to manage an integrated device and digital-solutions requirement would strengthen a future proposition. The use of a framework indicates that suppliers should understand framework-based public procurement and its call-off route.
