## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multifunctional devices and digital solutions: printers, plotters and photocopiers. The requirement is for equipment and related digital solutions, rather than construction or professional services. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The council is based in West Malling, Kent; the supplied information does not identify a separate delivery location for the equipment. This purchase shows the buyer’s requirement for multifunctional printing and copying devices alongside digital solutions, making it relevant to suppliers that provide this combination of business equipment and associated digital capability.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded through a selective route below the applicable threshold, under a framework, without a competitive call-off. Sharp Business UK PLC was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with a term from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2030. Its stated gross value is £154,004. The awarded items are classified as printers and plotters, and photocopiers. The information provided does not describe the evaluation criteria or participation requirements, so no specific scoring basis or eligibility test can be reported. The contract value and period relate to this one award; there were no separate supplier or lot awards to report.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a combined offer covering multifunctional devices, printers, plotters, photocopiers and digital solutions. A credible competitor would need to supply and support business printing and copying equipment while also meeting the associated digital-solutions requirement. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that a provider with the capacity to deliver the awarded package at this scale was considered suitable, although the procurement gives no specific staffing, accreditation or service-level requirements. The route used was an award under a framework rather than a competitive call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to offer an integrated equipment-and-solutions package are commercially pertinent when this same requirement returns to the market.
