Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured hardware for a UK Research and Innovation requirement. The purchase covers office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding furniture and software packages. It is a goods procurement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, and was awarded to Dell Corporation Limited. The available description identifies the requirement only as hardware rather than listing individual equipment types, quantities or technical specifications. Businesses active in supplying public-sector computing equipment and associated office machinery are the most relevant comparators for this procurement and its future requirements.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Dell Corporation Limited. The award value was £97,012.42 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. It was a direct award through the Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement framework, described as a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than a new open competition. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of office and computing hardware seeking public-sector framework work. It shows UK Shared Business Services Limited placing a hardware requirement through the Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement, with a large established technology supplier selected for delivery across the United Kingdom. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need a relevant range of computing and office equipment, the operational capacity to fulfil a UK-wide goods requirement, and access to the applicable framework route. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller businesses with the necessary framework position, supply chain capability and public-sector fulfilment experience may be well placed when similar hardware requirements are considered.
