Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is planning a procurement process for the "Oldham Council Laptop Refresh" project, which involves IT hardware and associated services. The procurement falls within the computer equipment and supplies industry category and is intended to commence in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically within the area designated as UKD3. The process is currently in the planning stage, as indicated by the "plannedProcurementNotice" dated 23 May 2025. The procurement method set to be used is selective, utilizing a pre-Procurement Act commercial tool. The contract, which is subject to internal governance approvals, is planned to cover a period from 1 September 2025 to 1 September 2028, with potential renewals extending it until 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of computer equipment and related services to partner with a substantial public authority. Companies that specialise in IT procurement, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts, could find this opportunity particularly suitable. The Council has indicated that the procurement route to market may evolve, providing flexible pathways for qualified vendors to engage. With an 18-month advance notice, firms have ample time to prepare their strategies and resources to compete effectively once the tender is officially advertised, fostering potential business growth and strengthening market positions within the public sector domain.
