Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has completed a procurement process under the title "Purchase of Public Access PCs, Creative PCs and Desktop Devices," within the industry category of computer equipment and supplies. The project involved a call-off from Lot 2 - Hardware of the CCS Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework (RM6098) using a selective procurement method. Located in the North East of England, the tender sought suppliers to provide Lenovo laptop hardware across the council. The procurement process reached the award stage, with an active contract initiating on 18th September 2025 and set to conclude on 17th January 2026. The total contract value is £86,283 GBP, illustrating an investment in technological resources to enhance public access and creative facilities.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in computer hardware, particularly those capable of fulfilling requirements for high-quality Lenovo laptops. Given the contract's utilisation of a framework agreement, it is an attractive prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Probrand Limited, which was successfully awarded the contract. Companies possessing expertise in public sector procurement and established relationships within such frameworks would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, thereby expanding their client base and increasing their presence in the regional IT equipment market.
