Summary of the contracting process

East Durham College procured an ICT hardware and peripherals equipment framework agreement, classified as computer supplies (CPV 30237300). The requirement covers the supply of hardware, peripheral equipment and related services, with the framework intended to support collaborative and innovative partnerships with college members and the wider public sector. It is relevant to manufacturers and resellers of ICT equipment, as well as businesses able to provide associated services. The purchasing arrangement can serve education-sector organisations and other eligible public-sector bodies. Delivery covers East Durham College in Peterlee, the United Kingdom and other locations including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026, and the award was made on 24 July 2026. VeryPC Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £203,201.75. The framework contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2029. The original estimated procurement value was £200,000. The arrangement was intended to use multiple suppliers, although this recorded award names VeryPC Ltd. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is complete, and the award is active.

For a future requirement from East Durham College or eligible public-sector education bodies, credible suppliers will need to combine dependable ICT hardware and peripheral supply with related support or service capability. Manufacturers and resellers are both relevant, so businesses should be able to demonstrate access to suitable equipment, reliable fulfilment and the ability to serve public-sector customers across the required geographic reach. The framework’s emphasis on collaborative and innovative partnerships favours suppliers that can work constructively with colleges and other public bodies, offer practical added value and support changing technology needs. SMEs are expressly suitable, making this relevant to established specialist distributors, manufacturers and service-led ICT businesses.
