Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Truro and Penwith Academy Trust bought Apple hardware and peripherals through a further competition under its ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment framework. The listed equipment includes portable computers; the procurement also classifies educational software and carrying cases. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Truro address and is described as potentially covering the United Kingdom and other locations worldwide. This is a goods requirement focused on Apple solutions for the Trust. The award indicates purchasing of end-user computing equipment, rather than a software-only requirement, with a broad stated delivery reach.

The competition is complete and the contract was awarded to Academia Ltd on 13 October 2026. The award value is £943,365. The planned contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 August 2029. The procurement was conducted as an open further competition under the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment framework. The original estimated value was £800,000, and bids had to be submitted by 30 August 2026. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The information identifies the Apple solutions requirement but does not set out specific award-scoring criteria or a detailed breakdown of equipment quantities.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Truro and Penwith Academy Trust’s demand for Apple computers and related peripheral equipment through a framework mini-competition. Academia Ltd’s selection shows that the Trust placed an order through the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment route, so a credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to that framework and the ability to supply a coherent Apple-focused hardware package. Suppliers should be prepared to support portable computers and associated accessories, and to fulfil delivery requirements that may extend beyond the Trust’s Truro base. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller suppliers were considered eligible to compete. The award provides a concrete example of the buyer’s purchasing scale and the type of supplier that secured the business.
