Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured IT network and security equipment for delivery in London and the North West of England. The requirement covers hardware supplied through the GCA Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework, specifically Lot 2: Hardware. It is a goods procurement for office and information-technology equipment, with the practical focus on network infrastructure and security equipment rather than general office supplies. The buyer is NHS Property Services Limited, based in Stockport. The requirement supports the organisation’s operational technology needs across its locations in the two delivery areas. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include distributors, resellers and manufacturers able to supply compliant networking and security hardware through the relevant public-sector framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 13 August 2026 to Specialist Computer Centres PLC for £340,230.96, including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. NHS Property Services Limited identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active. The procurement record does not set out an award weighting or separate evaluation criteria, so the published outcome identifies the framework call-off route rather than a detailed scoring basis.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need the ability to source, configure and supply business-grade network and security hardware at a six-figure public-sector scale. Experience of NHS or similarly complex estates would help demonstrate reliable delivery across London and the North West, although the published procurement does not identify a mandatory sector accreditation. Suppliers should be able to work within the GCA Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework, Lot 2: Hardware, and manage public-sector ordering, technical compliance, logistics and support. The award to Specialist Computer Centres PLC shows that an SME-sized technology supplier can compete for this buyer’s hardware needs when it combines relevant product access with framework capability and dependable fulfilment.
