Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "UWQ345 - Supply of Apple Products" was conducted by the University of Worcester, aiming to acquire portable and personal computers. This mini competition, under the NWUPC framework agreement for Apple Equipment & Associated Services, uses a restricted procedure methodology, meaning it was selective in approach. The tender reached the award stage, with a completion status on 8th May 2026. Located at Henwick Grove, Worcester, the contracting authority facilitated this procurement to cover deliveries to regions including the UK, the Channel Islands, Europe, and beyond. The contract period extends from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2028, with an award value of £72,000 GBP made to KRCS Group Ltd.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT and computer supplies, particularly those capable of fulfilling international delivery obligations. While the competition was selective, industry players with a robust portfolio in supplying Apple products would find such tenders beneficial for expanding their clientele and enhancing their market presence. It offers the chance to enter and establish a relationship with educational institutions like the University of Worcester, who are key consumers in this market segment.
