KCS Procurement Services, acting for and on behalf of Kent County Council (KCC) Central

Buying Consortium (CBC) and the Commercial Service Group (CSG), a Procurement Buying

Organisation (PBO), wish to create a national, user friendly, time and cost effective

Framework Agreement for the supply of Multi-Functional Devices and Digital Solutions.

The Framework Agreement covers the provision and installation of a full range of MultiFunctional Devices, Digital Solutions and Digital Transformation.

The Framework Agreement will be split into two (2) individual LOTs. These are:

LOT 1 – Leased and Purchased Multi-Functional Devices and Digital Solutions

LOT 2 – Digital Transformation and Associated Services

Digital transformation is the process of using digital technologies to create new, or modify

existing, business processes, culture, and Customer experiences to meet changing

Customer needs and requirements.

We are seeking Suppliers who, in complement to their offering of multi-functional Devices,

can provide digital transformation services to enable Customers to transform and improve

operating processes by way of multiple solutions with the Supplier of their choice. Individual

opportunities will need to be tailored to meet the Customer’s requirement to improve

efficiency, provide an agile and reliable solution that will transform and meet their business

objectives.

This LOT supports both the Supplier and Customer/Member Authority in identifying and

developing strategic relationships, that will provide benefits through the ability to have a

single lead Supplier relationship.
