Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the 'Mobile Client Devices Framework', a national collaborative contract aimed at supplying mobile client devices, including laptops, monitors, and mobile workstation devices, to the Scottish Public Sector. The procurement falls under the 'Computers equipment and supplies' category and was conducted through an open procedure, adhering to European legal standards. This process, identified by the code SP-24-008, concluded with an active contract awarded to HP Inc UK Limited, signed on 6th October 2025. The total contract value is set at £175 million and covers the region UKM (Scotland). The procurement involved evaluating bids on technical quality and price, with a significant weighting towards the latter.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those offering portable computing solutions and related services such as support and consultancy. Companies with robust technical offerings and competitive pricing would be well-positioned to vie for such high-value projects. Moreover, the presence of community benefit clauses suggests that businesses committed to contributing positively to the socio-economic and environmental fabric of Scotland might have an edge in future similar procurement opportunities. This tender not only exemplifies a significant market opportunity for large, established suppliers but also sets a precedent for the continuous demand for computing hardware and associated services within the public sector.
