Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Family Fund is buying a home computing equipment supply service for families in the UK who are raising disabled or seriously ill children. The requirement covers computer equipment and supplies, including tablet computers, supplied directly to those families. Family Fund is the buyer, based in York. The procurement is classified as a service, combining the provision of equipment with the direct supply and fulfilment needed to get it to beneficiaries. Delivery locations listed for the requirement include the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. Businesses should therefore assess whether they can provide suitable home computing products and manage distribution to families, rather than treating this as a conventional equipment-only sale to a central public-sector site.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Converge Technology Solutions on 11 September 2026 for £15 million. The awarded contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2030. Family Fund’s original estimated procurement value was also £15 million. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026. The successful supplier is a large organisation, and the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was for the provision of the stated service requirement through an open competition. The outcome matters as a record of the buyer’s selected route, contract scale and delivery period, rather than as an opportunity to submit a bid on this procurement.

This award indicates substantial, multi-year demand for a managed service supplying home computing equipment directly to families with disabled or seriously ill children. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to computers and tablets, product sourcing and stock management, and the operational capacity to fulfil individual family deliveries accurately. Distribution arrangements must support delivery across the UK and the other destinations listed for the requirement, with reliable customer communication and after-sales handling where needed. The selected supplier’s scale suggests that Family Fund values capacity to manage a sizeable service rather than occasional equipment sales. Businesses considering similar work should be able to demonstrate robust fulfilment, nationwide reach, supplier relationships, service management and experience delivering technology products to end users through a public or charitable programme.
