Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority acting as Fire and Rescue Authority procured end-user devices and associated computer hardware supplies. The requirement covers computer equipment and supplies (CPV 30200000), obtained through the Government Commercial Agency aggregation under the Technology Products and Associated Services framework, Lot 2: Hardware. Delivery is for the authority’s operations in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods requirement rather than a services or construction contract, focused on supplying the devices needed by end users. The buyer is the combined authority acting in its fire and rescue authority role, so relevant experience may include supplying substantial public-sector or emergency-service technology estates and supporting purchasing through established framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The response deadline was 7 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date to SPECIALIST COMPUTER CENTRES PLC. The awarded value is £163,843.26 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2028. The award is active and covers the full end-user-device requirement described for the hardware lot. The process used the framework’s call-off route rather than an open standalone competition. The award information identifies one supplier and one combined requirement, with no separate lot awards reported.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from a regional combined authority and fire and rescue service for end-user computing hardware supplied through a public-sector technology framework. A business competing for comparable future requirements would need the framework access and commercial capability to transact through its hardware lot, together with dependable capacity to source, configure and deliver computer equipment for an operational public-service environment. The selected supplier is a large specialist computer supplier, indicating that scale, breadth of hardware supply and the ability to manage an organisation-wide device requirement are relevant competitive strengths. Firms with established framework experience, strong manufacturer and distribution relationships, and reliable fulfilment processes would be better placed to compete when this buyer next refreshes or replaces its end-user devices.
