Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for an agreement focused on the purchase and supply of IT Hardware and Consumables, including items like headphones, cables, USB-C hubs, and assistive technology. This contract, however, does not cover laptops. The process was classified under categories such as Cable, wire and related products, Computer equipment and supplies, and Hardware, with a total contract value of £300,000. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage, with Specialist Computer Centres as the supplier. The procurement method employed another approach, and the contract's active period is from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2029. Deliveries will be made within England, United Kingdom.

The awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT hardware and consumables, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), as these sectors were deemed suitable to compete. Engaging in such a procurement process could help businesses expand their reach and capabilities within the public sector market, providing access to a stable client and potential for future collaborations with Bristol City Council. Companies with expertise in providing a diverse range of computer-related products and an ability to deliver within the specified region would be ideally equipped to benefit from this opportunity.
