Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured laptops for its computing and office equipment needs through the NDNA SUPC Stone framework. The requirement was for the supply of laptop devices, classified as office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies. Delivery was for the university in the South West of England. The buyer was Bath Spa University, based in Bath. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The requirement relates specifically to providing end-user computing hardware for the university, rather than software packages, furniture or broader technology services. It therefore suits suppliers of business laptops and associated computing equipment with the ability to fulfil an institutional order for a university customer in the South West.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 December 2025 to Stone Technologies Limited. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The awarded contract value was £97,956. The contract period ran from 19 December 2025 to 28 February 2026. The tender submission deadline was 18 December 2025. The award covered one requirement for laptops and the published tender value was also £97,956. Bath Spa University was the buyer and Stone Technologies Limited was the selected supplier. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route; no separate award criteria are recorded.

This procurement shows Bath Spa University has recurring demand for institutional laptop hardware and uses a framework call-off route to buy it. Suppliers targeting similar future requirements would need access to the relevant NDNA SUPC Stone framework, or a route into an equivalent purchasing arrangement, rather than relying only on open-market tendering. They would need to supply business-grade laptops at an order scale suitable for a university and manage delivery to the South West of England. Stone Technologies Limited’s selection also shows that an established, large technology supplier was used for this requirement. Credible competitors should therefore demonstrate dependable hardware supply, capacity to fulfil university orders, and experience of public-sector or education customers procuring standardised computing equipment through framework arrangements.
