Summary of the contracting process

The Enquire Learning Trust is actively conducting a procurement process to acquire 1700 iPads for 32 primary schools across regions including North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. This initiative serves to refresh ICT hardware, ensuring 10,000 students have access to digital learning resources. The procurement follows an open procedure with accelerated rationale to install the devices over summer holidays, thus minimising school disruption. The tender period ends on 20th June 2025, and the contract is expected to commence from 27th June to 25th July 2025. With a budget of £100,000, the focus lies within the portable computers industry category, requiring suppliers to provide the latest Apple models with specific case accessories.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in ICT hardware supply, particularly those with experience in educational technology solutions. Firms adept in bulk supplying, logistics management, and provisioning Apple products will find competitive advantage, especially if they can meet the accelerated timeline and adhere to product specifications. While suitability for SMEs and VCSEs is not specified, companies with established capabilities in large-scale deliveries and contract fulfilment within educational settings are likely to thrive in the tendering process.
