Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has awarded a contract for "IT Hardware, COTS and Peripherals" to Softcat Plc. This procurement falls under the industry category of hardware consultancy services (CPV code 72100000). The contract period starts on 4th November 2024, ending on 3rd November 2027. The direct award, with a value of £195,000 GBP, covers delivery across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, and others. The planning stage had initially earmarked the budget for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, emphasising a significant investment in renewing IT hardware and peripheral services.

This tender provides substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in the supply and consultancy of IT hardware and related peripherals. Although the contract has been awarded directly, future opportunities may arise for businesses that can demonstrate capability and cost-efficiency in hardware consultancy services. Companies equipped to provide comprehensive hardware solutions for large-scale public sector organisations, including those with expertise in handling extensive regional deliveries, are well-suited to compete for similar tenders. This contract emphasises the importance of establishing strong procurement connections and delivering high-quality IT products and services to gain a competitive edge in upcoming tenders.
