Summary of the contracting process

The Gambling Commission, located in Birmingham, has completed a procurement process titled "Surface Hubs Purchase," focusing on acquiring computer screens and consoles under the industry category classified by CPV code 30231000. This procurement involved the selective method of calling off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage was recently completed, with the award being finalised on 2nd September 2025. The contract, valued at £108,567.18, is for the purchase of 8 Microsoft Surface Hub 3 units and corresponding equipment, to be delivered to the West Midlands, UK, with the contract period starting on 8th September 2025 and concluding on 7th November 2025.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in technology solutions and hardware supply, especially those capable of fulfilling contracts through selective frameworks. Although the award has been granted to Specialist Computer Centres PLC, firms looking to grow within the hardware provision space can take cues from such contracting opportunities to position themselves for future similar procurements. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find such opportunities particularly fitting due to the suitability criteria set by the contracting authority, which highlights a preference for collaborating with SMEs.
