Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission bought desktop monitors to refresh its existing monitor estate. The requirement covers supplying, delivering, installing and disposing of monitors for the Commission’s offices in Manchester and Cardiff. This is a goods procurement for computer equipment and supplies (CPV 30200000), managed by the Commission. The work spans two office locations in England and Wales and combines equipment supply with installation and removal of existing equipment. The requirement was run as a further competition under Lot 2 of the Government Commercial Agency’s Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres plc on 8 October 2026. The awarded value was £36,808. The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 8 November 2031. The original estimated procurement value was also £36,808. This was a selective call-off competition under an existing framework, rather than an open tender. The competition deadline was 26 August 2026 at 13:00. The available evaluation information identifies the framework competition route but does not set out specific award criteria. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large business.

This award demonstrates demand from the Equality and Human Rights Commission for a complete desktop-monitor refresh across its Manchester and Cardiff offices, including supply, delivery, installation and disposal. Suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement would need to offer a joined-up equipment and deployment service across both locations, rather than monitors alone. The buyer used a further competition under an established technology products and associated services framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially important. The selected supplier was a large business, but the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller providers may also be credible if they can meet the multi-site delivery and installation scope.
