Summary of the contracting process

The Charity Commission For England And Wales has completed a procurement process titled "Supply of IT Hardware," classified under the industry category of computer equipment and supplies (CPV code 30200000). This tender involves the provision and compliant disposal of IT hardware, contracted through a call-off from a selective framework agreement. The procurement process concluded with an award on 13th March 2026 to Academia Limited, an SME supplier. The contracted value amounts to £573,000, with contract performance spanning from 13th March 2026 to 12th March 2028. Delivery locations encompass regions across the UK, including the North West, London, South West, and Wales. The procurement stage was at the award phase as of 30th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the IT hardware sector. The focus on regional delivery and contract performance over approximately two years presents a stable business avenue for suppliers capable of meeting the specific hardware and disposal requirements. Given the established framework agreement, businesses that already have ties to relevant purchasing platforms or possess nimble supply chains may find themselves well-positioned to engage with such contracts in future procurement opportunities managed by the Charity Commission For England And Wales.
