The procurement process overseen by Bath Spa University involved a call-off order for desktop options, classified under office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies. The industry category focuses on goods, with delivery to the South West region of the United Kingdom. This contract reached the award stage, having been completed successfully. The procurement used a selective method through a framework agreement, ensuring efficient supplier engagement. Important dates include the tender period ending on 11 August 2025, the contract starting on 13 August 2025, and concluding on 16 October 2025, with the award notice published on 16 April 2026.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in office machinery and computing equipment, particularly large enterprises such as Stone Technologies Limited, the awarded supplier. While the suitability criteria did not favour SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with experience and capability in high-value contracts and those who are part of recognised frameworks can potentially benefit from similar procurement processes. Competing in this tender could bolster credibility and market reach within large-scale procurement divisions across academic institutions and other public sector organisations. Businesses in the tech supply space can leverage this framework pathway to secure future call-off orders with Bath Spa University and similar buying organisations across the region.
