Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured a desktop equipment refresh for delivery across England. The requirement covers the supply of computer equipment and supplies, specifically microcomputer hardware and associated hardware (CPV 30200000). It is a goods procurement intended to replace or update desktop equipment used by the council. The purchasing organisation is Peterborough City Council, based at Sand Martin House in Peterborough. The procurement was run as a mini-competition through the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide desktop computing equipment through that established route. Delivery activity covers England rather than a single named council site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a restricted procedure using a selective process. The submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 23:59. The initial estimated value was £180,000. Peterborough City Council awarded the contract to Vohkus Limited on 30 June 2026 for £153,842.26. The awarded contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 17 December 2026. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement was evaluated through the TPAS2 mini-competition route. There was one award covering the desktop equipment refresh, with Vohkus Limited named as the supplier.

This procurement demonstrates council demand for a sizeable, time-limited desktop equipment refresh delivered across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply desktop computers and related microcomputer hardware at comparable scale, manage equipment refresh programmes and deliver reliably across multiple locations. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that operational capacity and the ability to fulfil a substantial equipment order were relevant in practice. The opportunity was run through the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework as a mini-competition, so suppliers seeking similar work would need access to that framework route and the capability to respond to its competition requirements. SMEs were expressly considered suitable to participate.
