Summary of the contracting process

South Pennine Academies procured a framework agreement for computer equipment, ICT hardware and peripherals, together with related services. The arrangement is intended to support purchasing by CPC members and the wider public sector, particularly education organisations and schools, with future CPC members also eligible to use it. Delivery covers South Pennine Academies in Huddersfield and wider locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The opportunity is for goods, with participation open to both manufacturers and resellers. It replaces the previous Multiquote reference CA13314 and is designed to support collaborative and innovative partnerships with participating public-sector bodies.

The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. It used an open procedure. The estimated procurement value was £280,000. South Pennine Academies awarded the contract to KRCS Group Ltd on 23 July 2026 for £272,979.19. The awarded contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 7 August 2026. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was structured as a multi-supplier framework agreement, although the recorded award identifies KRCS Group Ltd as the successful supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the open competition described for the framework. The award is active, and the procurement concerns computer supplies and associated services for the participating education and public-sector organisations.

This procurement is relevant to computer hardware distributors, ICT equipment manufacturers, resellers and providers of related support or supply services. A credible future supplier would need to source and supply a broad range of computer equipment and peripherals, understand the purchasing needs of schools and other public-sector bodies, and operate effectively across the stated delivery locations. The framework’s emphasis on collaborative and innovative partnerships favours businesses able to work with multiple education and public-sector customers rather than supplying a single site only. SMEs were considered suitable, so smaller specialist distributors and service providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate dependable fulfilment, product knowledge and capacity to support framework customers.
