## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, bought multifunction devices and digital solutions, specifically photocopiers and printers/plotters. The equipment is for the council’s requirement; the procurement data does not identify a delivery site or further explain the digital solutions. The scope is recorded as a single lot and is categorised as a goods purchase. This is a council procurement rather than a general technology-services requirement, so it is most relevant to suppliers of office printing and copying equipment, together with associated digital solutions. The selected supplier is Sharp Business UK PLC, based in Wakefield.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sharp Business UK PLC. The council used a selective route, making an award under a framework agreement; the process was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2031. Its stated gross value is £48,904. The process comprised one lot, covering the devices and digital solutions. The award record does not set out evaluation criteria or explain how the supplier was selected under the framework. This is a below-threshold award, rather than an open competition for this purchase.

For suppliers monitoring Kent County Council’s purchasing, this award is evidence of demand for multifunction devices, photocopiers, printers and plotters, with digital solutions included in the requirement. A credible future competitor would need to supply the relevant equipment and support the associated digital solution element, and be eligible to deliver through the framework route used for this award. The requirement is a single-lot goods purchase, indicating that the council procured the equipment and solutions together rather than as separate lots. Suppliers focused only on unrelated IT services or other office products are less directly aligned. Sharp Business UK PLC was selected for this requirement, making its ability to meet the combined equipment and digital-solutions scope a useful benchmark for suppliers assessing similar council purchasing.
