Total Office & Logistics Solutions Framework

Kent County Council (t/a Procurement Services) · Local authority

In brief

Kent County Council (t/a Procurement Services) has announced plans to buy transport and office supplies work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £600,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 June 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 37 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £600,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
