## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multifunction devices and digital solutions, including photocopiers and printers/plotters. The requirement is for equipment and associated digital solutions; the procurement records identify no more detailed service scope. The contract covers one lot and serves the council’s requirement. The buyer is based in West Malling, Kent. No specific delivery location is identified in the procurement details, so the work location cannot be narrowed beyond the buyer’s location. This is a goods procurement, rather than a works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The award was made through a selective route under a framework, as a below-threshold purchase; the process was not a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029. Its stated gross value is £105,007. The contract is active. The requirement was handled as a single lot, with the award covering photocopiers and printers/plotters. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described from the published process details.

For suppliers assessing similar council requirements, this award shows demand for multifunction devices and digital solutions, specifically photocopiers and printers/plotters, through a framework route. A credible competitor would need to supply this equipment and support the associated digital-solutions requirement, and to be capable of meeting the buyer’s needs through an applicable framework. Sharp Business UK PLC, a large supplier, secured the contract, indicating that suppliers with the capacity to deliver an equipment requirement of this scale should be prepared to compete. The published details do not set out particular accreditations, technical standards, staffing levels or prior-experience thresholds, so no specific qualification profile can be inferred.
