Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) conducted a procurement process titled "Value Added Reseller for Hardware," aimed at the hardware industry within the United Kingdom, specifically in London. This procurement, carried out using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, is in the award stage. The tender reached completion with an active award made on 21st January 2026, and the contract period is scheduled from 3rd February 2026 to 31st March 2027. The total value of the contract is GBP 7,855,305, with no suitability for small or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE). The FCDO served as the buying organisation, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to sourcing technology and hardware solutions efficiently.

This tender represents an opportunity for large businesses in the hardware goods sector to engage with the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. Although specific preferences were not extended to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or VCSEs, companies that specialise as value-added resellers in the hardware industry can benefit from such tenders. The contractual engagement with a significant governmental body like the FCDO offers excellent potential for revenue growth and the establishment of a strong partnership in the public sector. The successful supplier, Computacenter UK Ltd., exemplifies the calibre of large businesses likely to thrive in this environment.
