Summary of the contracting process

The procurement contract titled "Desktops for ACL" was conducted by Essex County Council, located in Chelmsford, England. This tender involved the provision of 171 data-processing machines and falls under the goods category for hardware. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to XMA LIMITED on 22 May 2025, with a total contract value of £65,570.51. The award stage is complete, and the contract is set to run from 22 May 2025 to 31 August 2025. The region of delivery for this tender is the East of England, United Kingdom, and the tender period ended on 21 May 2025.

This tender presents notable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in data-processing hardware. Although the procurement was fulfilled by XMA LIMITED, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find similar opportunities attractive, given the council's apparent consideration for SMEs without extending preference to voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Suppliers with robust experience working within framework agreements would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in such public contracts could help businesses expand their portfolios within the UK public sector market.
