Summary of the contracting process

This procurement established a multi-supplier framework for computer supplies, specifically ICT hardware, peripherals and related services. It covers desktop PC and portable device solutions in Lot 1, and Apple solutions in Lot 2. The arrangement is intended for use by CPC members and the wider public sector, including education organisations and future CPC members. Manufacturers and resellers are eligible to provide the equipment and associated services. ADB (UK) Limited is recorded as the buyer, while Bridgend College is also identified in the procurement information. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and may extend to British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The procurement is classified under CPV 30237300, computer supplies.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 5 July 2026, and the award was made on 22 July 2026. The framework award went to Softcat PLC and Centerprise International Ltd, with an awarded value of £489,596.28. The planned contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The procurement had an estimated value of £500,000. It was divided into two lots: desktop PC and portable device solutions, and Apple solutions. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a goods procurement, using an open procedure for the supply of equipment and related services through multiple suppliers.

This award demonstrates public-sector demand for supplying desktop computers, portable devices, Apple equipment, peripherals and associated services through a multi-supplier framework. Relevant competitors would be manufacturers, authorised distributors, resellers or technology suppliers able to source and deliver a broad range of ICT hardware across the United Kingdom and potentially wider territories. Credible providers would need the purchasing capacity, stock or supply-chain access, logistics and technical knowledge to support both general desktop and portable-device requirements and Apple-specific requirements. The framework is explicitly open to manufacturers and resellers, and is suitable for SMEs, so smaller technology businesses can be relevant where they can demonstrate reliable fulfilment and collaborative service capability for education and wider public-sector customers. Experience of serving multiple public-sector organisations would strengthen a future offering.
