Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College sought a supplier to help replace its ageing IT infrastructure, covering IT infrastructure and hardware alongside related IT services. The work is for the college’s Rochdale campus, at St Mary’s Gate. The stated purpose is infrastructure replacement; the procurement does not describe a more detailed equipment schedule or technical scope. The college is the organisation associated with the requirement. This is relevant to IT infrastructure and hardware suppliers able to support a college environment and deliver replacement infrastructure, rather than businesses focused on unrelated IT consulting or software alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Nexus Associates ICT Ltd. The award was made on 16 November 2023, at a value of £1,000,000. The stated contract period runs from 8 May 2023 to 7 May 2026; the requirement described a three-year contract with two optional 12-month extensions. It was a selective call-off from the CCS RM6103 framework, Lot 1. The tender response deadline was 7 May 2023. Small and medium-sized enterprises were marked as suitable. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described.

This award demonstrates demand at Hopwood Hall College for replacing ageing IT infrastructure, including hardware, supported through a framework call-off. A future competitor would need to show that it can supply and support infrastructure replacement for a college, with the technical capability to manage the transition from ageing systems to replacement provision. Suppliers should also be able to operate within the applicable framework route and deliver the requirement at institutional scale. The college’s stated SME suitability indicates that smaller suppliers were considered suitable for this procurement. The award identifies a supplier that secured the work, but the published description does not set out particular brands, accreditations, staffing levels or specialist technical qualifications against which a competitor could compare its own offer.
