Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, aiming to acquire Surface Pro laptops and keyboards under a call-off contract from the TePAS 2 framework agreement RM6098. This contract falls within the computer equipment and supplies category and is classified as goods procurement. The process concluded with an award on 13th February 2026, following a limited procurement method, which did not require prior publication of a competition call, due to the directive application scope. The geographical delivery coverage includes regions such as UKC, UKD, and several others across the United Kingdom. The procurement aligns with the Global Procurement Agreement compliance standards.

This tender may offer growth opportunities for businesses specialising in computer equipment supply, particularly for those with the capability to fulfil large volume orders like the 100 Surface Pro units needed. Given that the procurement was awarded directly to BALLICOM LIMITED T/A BALLICOM INTERNATIONAL, suppliers of similar scale and sector expertise might find potential in similar framework agreements or call-off contracts. Companies positioned to deliver high-quality computer equipment promptly and those with existing frameworks or direct award capacities would be well-suited for such contracts. Engaging with regional or local authorities like those in public order and safety sectors can open avenues for sustained business growth.
