UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency is planning a UK-wide framework for technology products and associated services. It is intended to cover off-the-shelf hardware and software, including laptops, phones, tablets, computers, peripherals, servers, storage, networking and security equipment, specialist tactical communications, and assistive technology for home use. Hardware could be supplied new or refurbished and bought outright, leased or provided as a service. Software could be licensed outright or by subscription. Supporting work may include design, installation, implementation, maintenance, user support, service desk, training, project management, asset and security management, recycling, disposal and data cleansing. The scope is still to be shaped through supplier and customer engagement, with the stated direction including carbon net zero, sustainability and circular IT objectives.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has declared its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It is expected to be a framework agreement. The buyer anticipates publishing the next notice by 31 January 2027. The planned contract period runs from 31 July 2027 to 30 July 2031, with a maximum extent to 1 August 2031; renewal is contemplated. The estimated value is £20 billion excluding VAT (£24 billion including VAT). The procurement is presented as a single lot. The buyer has held supplier engagement, including an event planned for 20 October 2025 to discuss the existing agreement and gather feedback, and intends customer webinars. No evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions are set out at this planning stage.

The framework is relevant to suppliers able to provide one or more parts of a broad technology supply chain: end-user devices and peripherals, infrastructure hardware, software licensing, specialist communications equipment, assistive technology, or the associated delivery and support services. It may suit both product manufacturers and resellers, software providers, IT service and systems integrators, maintenance and support firms, and providers of leasing, device-as-a-service, recycling or secure disposal. The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with capabilities in refurbished equipment, extending hardware life, responsible end-of-life disposal, carbon reduction and circular IT may align with the buyer’s stated direction. Supplier feedback is part of the planned market engagement and could help shape the eventual scope.
