Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham has completed the procurement process for supplying laptops, specifically Hewlett Packard models with next business day support. This tender falls under the industry category of hardware goods and caters to the needs of public order and safety. Located in the United Kingdom, particularly within the UKC14 region, the contract was awarded on 22 January 2026 and commenced on 1 February 2026, ending on 31 January 2029. The procurement method employed was limited, using the YatH Hardware Framework Agreement, and did not involve prior publication of a call for competition due to its classification outside the scope of directive application. The procurement process has reached the award stage, highlighting Insight Direct (UK) Limited as the successful supplier.

Small to medium enterprises with expertise in supplying laptops and competitive pricing strategies would have been well-suited to compete for this contract. Such opportunities align well with businesses aiming to expand their service offerings within public sector frameworks in the UK. Although the process was managed via a framework agreement without prior call for competition, it provides insights into future opportunities for firms interested in engaging with similar procurement projects.
