Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a selective procurement process for the purchase of IT hardware, under the industry category of office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies. This procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement to supply goods to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender process was concluded by the end of March 2025, with the contract awarded to Centerprise International Limited starting on 1st April 2025 and lasting until 31st March 2028. The entire procurement process, valued at £11,802.35, was finalised with the award being published on 8th May 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in IT hardware and office equipment, particularly those seeking to expand their operations in governmental contracts. Though the tender was not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs, the successful supplier, Centerprise International Limited, is a small to medium-sized enterprise with a VCSE status, highlighting the potential for similar businesses to compete in future bids. Engaging in contracts with the Ministry of Defence could provide substantial business growth through increased visibility and credibility in the public sector.
