The tender, identified as TNA759, falls under the 'Computer equipment and supplies' category with CPV code 30200000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award finalised on 6th April 2026. The contract commenced on 9th April 2026 and will conclude on 8th April 2029, with the delivery location specified by the postal code TW9 4DU. This procurement process provides insight into strategic buying by a government institution and adherence to scheduled timings, as evidenced by the tender and contract periods.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in computer equipment and supplies, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality technology alongside robust customer support services such as AppleCare. Given its suitability criteria, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would benefit from such opportunities, although this contract was awarded to Academia Limited, a large-scale entity. By engaging in such tenders, businesses can expand their market presence, enhance their profile by working with prestigious national institutions, and potentially secure repeat business through long-term contracts.
