Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured 30 configured HP EliteBook 650 devices. This is a goods requirement for office and computing equipment and supplies, covering the supply and configuration of HP laptop computers rather than software or furniture. Delivery was required in the South West of England. The requirement was associated with the NDNA Framework and was intended for the university’s operational technology needs. Businesses relevant to this procurement include suppliers of HP or comparable business laptops, IT equipment distributors, and providers able to configure devices to a customer’s specification before delivery. The buyer was Bath Spa University, based in Bath, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 April 2024 to Stone Technologies Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 28 April 2024. The awarded value was £46,944 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract ran from 29 April 2024 to 5 July 2024. The award was active, with Stone Technologies Limited named as the supplier. The requirement was classified as goods, and was not marked as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The published information does not set out separate lots or an award-scoring breakdown.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers tracking Bath Spa University’s demand for configured business computing equipment. A credible future competitor would need to supply HP EliteBook 650 devices, or understand the relevant equivalent business laptop market, and provide reliable configuration before delivery. Capacity to fulfil an order of 30 devices and coordinate delivery in the South West would be directly relevant. The procurement was handled through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework route or a position on any successor arrangement used by the university. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that established operational capacity was relevant to this purchase.
