Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence bought IT hardware for its DC2E programme, with delivery to Corsham, England (postcode SN13 9NR). The procurement is categorised as goods, although its listed CPV classification describes technical computer support services; the available item information does not identify specific hardware types, quantities or technical specifications. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of IT equipment able to serve a Ministry of Defence programme at this location, but the published description alone does not establish which product lines or support capabilities were required.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CDW Limited. The award was made on 2 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. The awarded value is £985,602.54. The tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available award information identifies one supplier and one award; it does not state a separate evaluation formula or criteria. The listed procurement estimate and award value are the same.

This award shows that the Ministry of Defence purchased IT hardware for the DC2E programme through a framework call-off, with a single large supplier selected for a contract of substantial scale. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, so smaller hardware providers may be credible competitors where they can meet the buyer’s framework and delivery requirements. To compete for a comparable requirement, suppliers would need relevant IT hardware supply capability and the capacity to support delivery to Corsham for a Ministry of Defence programme. The award data does not identify product specifications, volumes, security standards or technical qualifications, so it does not establish a more specific capability profile for future suppliers. A framework route was used, making access to the relevant framework important for a supplier seeking comparable work.
