In plain English

Cantium Business Solutions, a Kent County Council-owned trading company, is appointing one or more preferred suppliers to provide Device-as-a-Service hardware and related services to itself and its customers, starting 20 June 2027 for up to 3 years with the option to extend to 5 years. This is a zero-value agreement where actual sales depend on customer orders, with total spend over the full period estimated at around £16,000,000 including VAT, so a place on the list is the entry ticket to future work rather than guaranteed business.

Good fit for: IT hardware suppliers and resellers offering device-as-a-service or managed hardware solutions to public sector customers

The catch (with the notice's own words):
  • No guaranteed work - zero-value agreement Any contractual offer made will be against a zero-value agreement as any sales will be based on best value for our customers.
  • May need to accept up to two 12-month extensions The buyer has the right to request up to two x 12-month extensions to this contract

What the buyer says

Cantium Business Solutions and its trading brands (Cantium) is a Local Authority trading company (LATCo). We operate as part of the Global Commercial Services Group of companies (CSG) ultimately owned by Kent County Council (KCC). Cantium therefore plays a vital role in supporting both the public sector and the interests of the wider community. Cantium Business Solutions is looking to appoint one or more preferred suppliers for delivery of Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution including associated hardware and services for use by ourselves and to our customers. This Agreement shall commence on 20th June 2027 and shall continue in force for up to 36 months unless terminated in accordance with the partner contractual conditions or extended in accordance with clause 2.8. The buyer has the right to request up to two x 12-month extensions to this contract, providing the supplier with a minimum notice of 30 days prior to the contract end date. Therefore, the maximum possible contract length will be 60 months. Any contractual offer made will be against a zero-value agreement as any sales will be based on best value for our customers. However, the total contract value over the 60 month period is estimated at circa £16million inclusive of VAT.
