UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority is seeking suppliers for the provision of 180 ultra-small form factor desktop PCs, as outlined in Tender ID PRN004600. This procurement process is in the active tender stage and falls within the "goods" category, specifically focusing on personal computers with a CPV classification of 30213000. The procurement method is an open competition, designed for below-threshold contracts, which facilitates participation from a broad range of suppliers. Interested parties should note that submissions must be submitted electronically by 22:00 on 19th February 2026, with contract activities projected to commence on 20th February 2026 and conclude by 20th March 2026. The procurement process takes place within the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of UKF, Nottingham.

The tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT hardware, particularly those capable of providing personal computer systems. The contract's suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) allows smaller businesses to compete effectively, especially as the assessment is based entirely on price, thereby levelling the playing field. Enterprises that can offer competitive pricing and meet the technical specifications outlined in the documentation will find this tender particularly beneficial for business growth. Engaging with this procurement opportunity can strengthen a company's portfolio and establish valuable connections with a public authority within the UK government framework.
