Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of Microsoft Surface Laptop Copilot PCs, 7th Edition, was initiated and completed under Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority. It falls within the industry category of portable computers and is part of the goods procurement category. This call-off contract was conducted under Lot 8 of the TePAS 2 framework agreement RM6098. The procurement method was identified as limited, with an award procedure that occurred without prior publication of a call for competition. Although the tendering process reached the award stage on 20th March 2026, one lot was subsequently cancelled; the delivery region primarily targeted was UKD. Bright Links UK Limited was awarded the active contract, signed on the same date, with a contract value of GBP 25,580.

This tender offers potential for significant business growth, especially for businesses in the tech supply sector capable of fulfilling demand for high-end computing equipment. The opportunity suits large-scale suppliers who specialise in portable computing devices and can offer competitive pricing under framework agreements such as TePAS 2. It presents a chance to engage with regional authorities like the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, which may lead to repeated procurement opportunities. Companies with expertise in public sector contracts and familiarity with delivering to regional authorities will find this occasion ripe for establishing or expanding their footprint within the UK public procurement landscape.
