Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives procured HPE server hardware together with three years of support for iLO licensed features. This is a goods requirement covering data-processing machines and related computer equipment, rather than a software development or general IT services contract. Delivery is associated with The National Archives site on Ruskin Avenue in Richmond, England. The buying organisation is The National Archives, which uses the equipment and support for its own operations. The scope suits suppliers able to provide HPE server hardware, configure or supply compatible systems, and support HPE iLO licensed management features over the required service period. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale were considered capable of delivering the equipment and associated support.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 1 May 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded to Pacific Computers Limited on 13 May 2026. The awarded value was £179,077. The contract period runs from 20 May 2026 to 19 May 2029, covering the hardware supply and three-year support requirement. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The evaluation basis and framework rules governed selection through the call-off process. The award was made to one supplier for the HPE server hardware and iLO licensed-feature support requirement. The buyer is The National Archives.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for enterprise HPE server hardware paired with multi-year support for iLO licensed features at an established public-sector archive. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need reliable access to HPE server equipment, the technical knowledge to specify compatible computer-related hardware, and the ability to support iLO licensed management functionality throughout the service relationship. It would also need to manage delivery to a central government archive in Richmond and provide dependable after-sales support rather than only a one-off hardware sale. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this scale and route can be served by a focused specialist rather than only a large systems integrator.
