Summary of the contracting process

NRS procured IT hardware and peripherals for its 2025–26 refresh programme, including computer equipment and related parts, accessories and supplies (CPV 30230000). The requirement is for goods rather than services or works. Delivery is associated with NRS’s site at Risley, and the procurement also lists delivery locations across the United Kingdom and a range of international destinations. The purchase concerns a hardware refresh, so it is relevant to suppliers able to provide computer equipment and peripherals for an organisational refresh programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to XMA Limited on 18 September 2026. The award value was £1,937,453.53, against an estimated procurement value of £1,950,000. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 May 2027. NRS used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 11 September 2026 at 14:00. The requirement was presented as a single procurement, with no separate lot awards reported. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable participants. The award information does not describe the evaluation criteria.

This award provides a concrete indication of NRS’s demand for a substantial, multi-site supply of IT hardware and peripherals through a framework call-off. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement from NRS would need to demonstrate the ability to source and supply a broad range of computer equipment, components and accessories, and to coordinate delivery across UK sites and potentially destinations beyond the UK. The scale and refresh-programme context favour suppliers with reliable procurement, stock management and fulfilment capacity, together with experience handling organisational hardware roll-outs. The process was conducted through a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable NRS work would need access to a relevant framework route as well as the operational capability to fulfil a large equipment order.
