Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College procured IT infrastructure and hardware services to help replace its ageing IT infrastructure. The requirement covers IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support activities, classified under CPV 72000000. The main procurement category is services rather than a standalone equipment supply. The work is associated with Hopwood Hall College’s Rochdale Campus in Rochdale, England, and is intended to support the college’s technology environment. ADB (UK) Limited is recorded as the buyer, while Hopwood Hall College is identified as the organisation seeking the supplier. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to ICT providers able to combine infrastructure advice, hardware-related delivery and ongoing technical support for an educational customer.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically CCS RM6103 Lot 1. The award was made on 16 November 2023 to Nexus Associates ICT Ltd for £1,000,000. The awarded contract period ran from 8 May 2023 to 7 May 2025. The tender record gives a submission deadline of 7 May 2023. The procurement had one stated requirement rather than separately described lots. The published process identifies the service category and framework call-off route, and records SME suitability. The award is active; the contract period recorded against the award has ended. ADB (UK) Limited is recorded as buyer, with Hopwood Hall College named in the requirement and delivery details.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial demand from Hopwood Hall College for replacing ageing IT infrastructure through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to provide an integrated ICT capability rather than hardware alone: infrastructure assessment and consultancy, technology and software support, internet-related services, hardware supply or deployment, and dependable technical support. Experience delivering a college or similarly complex organisational environment would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage operational change while maintaining service continuity. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist or smaller ICT provider may be able to compete, particularly where it can evidence the necessary delivery capacity, framework access and ability to act as a single infrastructure partner.
