Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves FCDO Services seeking the provision of hardware, software, and specialist services under the title "Provision of Hardware, Software and Specialist Services." This falls under the industry category of computer equipment and supplies, with a CPV classification of 30200000. The process has reached the award stage, with Computacenter UK Ltd being the successful supplier. The location is Milton Keynes, England (postal code MK19 7BH), and the contract started on 11 September 2025, running until 31 March 2026. FCDO Services adopted a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring a targeted and efficient procurement process.
