Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council procured a supply of end-user laptops, classified as portable computers (CPV 30213100). The requirement was for goods rather than services or works, with delivery to the council’s area in Salford, England. The purchasing organisation was Salford City Council. The equipment is intended to meet the council’s end-user computing needs, although the available description does not identify specific laptop models, quantities, technical specifications or deployment requirements. The selected supplier, Kingsfield Computer Products Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by an established specialist computer products business rather than being limited to a large national technology provider.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Kingsfield Computer Products Ltd on 21 July 2026 for £254,971.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 21 August 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active. The published evaluation basis is the framework call-off route; detailed quality, price or technical weighting is not stated.

This award demonstrates a substantial, short-term requirement from Salford City Council for supplying end-user laptops through an established framework route. Businesses best placed for comparable future requirements would be computer hardware suppliers able to source, configure and deliver portable computers reliably to a public-sector customer in Salford. A credible competitor would need the procurement and framework capability to respond to call-off opportunities, manage a sizeable equipment order, meet delivery commitments within a concentrated period, and provide products that satisfy the council’s end-user computing requirements. The award to an SME shows that a smaller specialist supplier can compete successfully, while scale, operational capacity and dependable fulfilment remain commercially important.
