Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter, a renowned public undertaking located in Exeter, UK, has completed a procurement process for the provision of computer hardware. This contract was fulfilled through a direct procurement method without competition, fitting within the 'Below threshold' category according to legal framework 2023/54. The buying authority aimed to source various computer hardware components, eventually awarding the contract to Stone Computers. This procurement stage is at 'award', with the contract being actively in place from 3rd July 2025 to 2nd July 2026. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, and the total value of the contract is set at £43,344 GBP gross.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for companies in the computing and technology sectors. While this particular contract has been awarded to Stone Computers, future opportunities in similar procurements could benefit businesses providing office and computing machinery and supplies. Enterprises with robust offerings in computer equipment, especially those who can deliver value below competitive tendering thresholds, might find themselves well-positioned for similar procurements in the future. Collaboration with public sector bodies like the University of Exeter can enhance business profiles and lead to sustainable growth by tapping into continuous demand for technological resources.
