Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Capital City College Group procured Apple Mac computers as a goods contract for portable computers. The requirement was run as a further competition, or mini competition, under the CPC ICT Hardware & Peripherals Equipment framework (reference CPC/JE/01/2023). The buyer is based at King’s Cross, London, and the stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement therefore concerns the supply and delivery of Apple-branded computing equipment rather than installation, software development or general IT support. It is relevant to businesses supplying Apple Mac computers and related portable computing hardware, particularly those able to serve a college group operating from London with delivery requirements extending beyond the UK.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to KRCS Group Ltd. The award date was 30 July 2026 and the awarded value is £317,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Bids closed on 17 July 2026 at 10:00. The route was a further competition, also known as a mini competition, under the CPC ICT Hardware & Peripherals Equipment framework, reference CPC/JE/01/2023. The tender was classified as goods and portable computers, using CPV code 30213100. The recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The contract is not divided into separately described lots. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Capital City College Group for Apple Mac computers at a substantial, single-contract scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need reliable access to genuine Apple hardware, the capacity to fulfil a sizeable institutional order, and the operational capability to deliver across the stated geographical coverage, including locations outside the United Kingdom. Experience supplying portable computers to education or other multi-site organisations would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage ordering, logistics and consistent delivery. Access to the CPC ICT Hardware & Peripherals Equipment framework, or an equivalent route that permits participation in a further competition, would also be commercially important. The contract period indicates the requirement is structured around a defined annual service cycle.
