Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BMet College procured ICT equipment, classified as portable computers (CPV 30213100), for delivery to its Sutton Coldfield Campus. The requirement was for laptops, with the tender description also referring more broadly to the supply of ICT equipment. The college stated that the order needed to be fulfilled before the summer break and that laptops were to be delivered by 12 June. BMet College is the buying organisation; its listed address is the Matthew Boulton Campus, Jennens Road, Birmingham. The procurement is for goods rather than services or works, and the stated delivery destination is the Sutton Coldfield Campus.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dell Computer Corporation (Berks). The award was dated 22 October 2026 and has a value of £1,402,056. The stated contract period runs from 1 June to 31 July 2026. BMet College used an open procedure. The original estimated procurement value was £1,230,000. The tender deadline was 31 May 2026. The requirement was presented as a single equipment purchase, with no lot breakdown recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable. The tender data does not describe an evaluation basis or set out specific eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from BMet College for laptop and wider ICT equipment supply, with delivery to its Sutton Coldfield Campus and a requirement linked to the summer break. Dell Computer Corporation (Berks) was selected, so a credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to supply the specified equipment and fulfil a time-critical order for a college campus. The buyer used an open procedure and identified SMEs as suitable, indicating that the opportunity was not restricted to large suppliers. The commercial fit is strongest for resellers or manufacturers with access to the required ICT products and dependable fulfilment and delivery capacity. The work concerns equipment supply rather than installation, support or other ICT services; those capabilities are not part of the stated requirement.
