Summary of the contracting process

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has initiated a procurement process under the Information, Communication & Technology Framework, covering office and computing machinery and supplies. The procurement is classified under goods with a CPV code of 30000000. This selective restricted procedure is conducted according to CELEX legal basis 32014L0024 and is active under the award stage with various contracts signed as of 20 January 2026. The framework agreement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Interested suppliers should take note of the compliance with grant funding agreements, performance terms as stated in the procurement documentation, and the reviewed details following Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender offers multiple lots including ICT equipment, cabling services, software licensing, audio-visual services, and cybersecurity services, across the UK.

The ICT Framework Agreement facilitates business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in office and computing machinery, network cabling, software packages, audio-visual equipment, and cybersecurity services. It is particularly suitable for large-scale consortia, with active participation from well-established companies such as CCS Media Limited, Softcat PLC, and Academia Limited. The procurement process encourages competition through electronic submission methods, allowing suppliers to bid for multiple lots, fostering wider market engagement. Businesses in technology, communications, and security sectors will find this framework conducive to expanding their market presence and showcasing innovation, especially given the emphasis on quality (60%) and price (40%). This creates an advantageous environment for suppliers looking to establish or expand their operations within the UK procurement landscape.
