Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency purchased server hardware, a goods procurement intended to provide the agency with server equipment. Delivery is associated with London, including the E14 4PU postcode. The requirement is described as the purchase of server hardware, with servers as the stated product category. This indicates a focused supply requirement for businesses that provide server hardware rather than a broader IT service or infrastructure project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SPECIALIST COMPUTER CENTRES PLC. The award date was 15 October 2026, with an awarded value of £50,206.28. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2031. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the recorded evaluation basis and award criteria are not stated in the process information.

This award demonstrates UK Health Security Agency demand for server hardware through a framework call-off, with a five-year contract period and a defined equipment supply requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns to market should be able to supply server hardware and be positioned to participate in the relevant framework route. The successful supplier was recorded as a large business, while the procurement was also marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. That makes it relevant to smaller hardware suppliers as well as larger resellers, provided they can meet the buyer’s supply needs and framework requirements. The purchase is a focused equipment opportunity rather than a requirement for broader IT services.
