Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has engaged in a procurement process titled "ESCC Surface Hub Refresh," which aims to refresh its Surface Hub hardware estate. This procurement, classified under the industry category of computer equipment and supplies (CPV code 30200000), was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £154,207.69, covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the 'Award' phase, with the contract period commencing on 16th June 2025 and concluding on 16th June 2026. The award was finalised on 16th June 2025, and the contract notice was published on 13th October 2025.

This procurement presents a significant business opportunity for companies operating within the computer equipment sector, particularly those capable of providing a refresh of hardware estates. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for similar tenders, given the suitability criteria outlined for this contract. Though the procurement was concluded with Insight Direct (UK) Limited as the supplier, businesses with the capacity to supply within the specified framework agreements should monitor such opportunities for future growth and expansion within the public sector. This highlights a viable path for small firms looking to establish or expand their presence in governmental contracting, especially in technology provision.
