## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, bought multifunctional devices and related digital solutions under the Y26009 requirement. The goods include photocopiers and printers or plotters. This is an equipment supply requirement for suppliers serving public-sector organisations with printing and document-handling needs. The buyer is the council; the supplier named for the award is Sharp Business UK PLC. The procurement is grouped as one lot, covering the devices and digital solutions together. The council is based in West Malling, Kent, and the supplier is based in Wakefield. The data does not identify specific delivery sites, so the stated locations describe the buyer and supplier rather than confirmed installation locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a stated period from 21 November 2026 to 20 November 2031. Its gross value is £31,490. The process used a selective route and the award was made under a framework agreement; it was below threshold. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also active. The requirement was handled as a single lot. No evaluation criteria or detailed basis for selecting the supplier are included in the process information. The recorded outcome is one supplier for the multifunctional devices and digital solutions requirement.

This award shows Kent County Council buying photocopiers, printers and plotters alongside digital solutions through a framework, with the equipment and related solutions treated as one requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable council work would need to provide both relevant office-printing devices and associated digital solutions, and be able to deliver them as a joined-up supply rather than as unrelated product lines. The awarded supplier is a large business, indicating that a supplier with capacity to support a public-sector equipment requirement of this kind was selected. The process used a framework award route, so familiarity with supplying through applicable frameworks is commercially relevant. The scope offers a useful reference point for businesses supplying multifunction devices and print technology to local government.
