## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, bought multifunction devices and associated digital solutions for its requirements. The goods include photocopiers, printers and plotters. The contract is focused on supplying this equipment and digital solutions; the published item descriptions identify the devices but do not further explain the digital services or their intended uses. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the requirement as a single package. The buyer is based in West Malling, Kent. No delivery location is stated, so the contract should not be assumed to involve delivery to the buyer’s registered address or to any particular council site. This requirement is relevant to suppliers of office printing and copying equipment and related digital solutions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC; the contract is active and was signed on 19 October 2026. The contract runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2030, with a gross value of £129,585. Procurement Services used a selective route to award under a framework, below the relevant threshold; the call-off was non-competitive. The requirement was procured as one lot. No separate award value or award date is stated. The published data gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis on which suppliers were assessed cannot be described. The award covers the supply of photocopiers, printers and plotters under the wider multifunction devices and digital solutions requirement.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for multifunction devices, photocopiers, printers, plotters and associated digital solutions through a framework route. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant equipment and support the digital-solutions element of the requirement, while being able to deliver the package as a single lot. The selected supplier is a large business, which indicates that a large supplier was capable of winning this award, but does not establish a minimum size or capacity threshold. The contract’s multi-year term and stated value indicate a sustained requirement rather than a one-off purchase. Suppliers with an established route to framework call-offs and a portfolio spanning printing and copying equipment and related digital solutions are the closest fit to the work awarded.
