Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured 124 HP Pro 4 laptops for use in hosted information and communications technology services. The equipment is intended to support Cumberland Council, Westmorland and Furness Council, and Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service. This is a goods contract for computer equipment and supplies, with delivery across England. The buying organisation is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The requirement is focused on supplying a defined quantity and model of business laptops rather than providing general ICT consultancy, software development or ongoing managed services. It is therefore relevant to distributors, resellers and hardware suppliers able to source, configure or deliver HP Pro 4 laptops for public-sector ICT environments and multiple public-service organisations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 7 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Desk Top Publishing Micro Systems Limited (DTP). The awarded value is £99,713 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 11 September 2026. The evaluation was for the supply of the specified laptops under a completed goods procurement. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The contract covers a single requirement rather than separately identified lots. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from a local-government buyer for a sizeable, standardised laptop supply supporting hosted ICT services across two councils and a fire and rescue service. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would have reliable access to HP Pro 4 business laptops, the purchasing capacity to fulfil a multi-organisation order, and dependable logistics for delivery across England. Experience supplying public-sector or other large institutional customers would help demonstrate the ability to manage consistent specifications, coordinated delivery and short implementation windows. The selected supplier was a large organisation, so competitors should be prepared to evidence established hardware distribution, order management and fulfilment capabilities rather than positioning themselves as small-scale or specialist bespoke ICT providers.
