Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed the procurement process for "Desktop computers" under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement is classified under the industry category of Computer-related equipment, specifically CPV code 30230000. The procurement process involves the delivery of goods to a location in London, United Kingdom, with the contract period starting from 16th February 2026 and concluding on 17th February 2031. The award was announced on 6th February 2026 to CDW LIMITED, with the contract valued at approximately £479,429.50. Despite the award, the initial contract value was indicated to be between £400,000 and £500,000.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for large businesses specialising in the supply of specialist computer equipment. Given that the procurement was executed via a framework agreement, firms already established on such frameworks would have had a competitive advantage. While this specific opportunity is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, companies with the capacity to fulfil orders on a large scale over a long-term period will find such tenders beneficial, offering stable and predictable revenue streams over the five-year contract duration. Businesses equipped to provide high-quality desktop computers and related support will find this procurement process aligns well with their service offerings.
