Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council has completed a procurement process titled "MD25095 - End User Device replacement", within the goods category for personal computers. The procurement aimed to acquire replacement and new devices such as laptops, desktops, and mobile phones for Officers and Members. Conducted through a direct award method, the contract is valued at £90,000 and runs from 12th June 2026 to 11th February 2027. The contracting stage is awarded as of 24th April 2026, with deliveries expected within the United Kingdom, particularly in England. This award follows the crisis end of the tender period on 10th February 2026.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities, especially for businesses capable of supplying personal computing devices. Although the contract already involves Ultima Business Solutions Ltd, a large-scale supplier, the demand for similar services can stimulate competition, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses specialising in IT equipment and such devices would have been ideal candidates for this tender, encouraging them to monitor similar opportunities for future participation.
