Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Data Centre Refresh" involves Dacorum Borough Council, a regional authority based in Hemel Hempstead, UK (region: UKH23). The process pertains to the industry category of data-processing machines (hardware) and falls under the stage of completion as of 8th April 2026. This procurement was conducted through an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition and was executed under the CCS framework RM6098 TEPAS 2, Lot 1 Hardware. Despite the process's limited and direct nature, the contract was successfully awarded on 17th December 2025 to Insight Direct (UK) Limited, valued at GBP 525,599.11. This competitive activity was conducted under the legal basis of Directive 2014/24/EU, with the primary focus on goods procurement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the production or supply of data-processing hardware, particularly those capable of operating through direct or framework-based procurement methods. Given the nature of the limited procurement procedure, large-scale suppliers like Insight Direct (UK) Limited are well-suited to engage, as their established infrastructures typically meet the rigorous requirements without the need for a broad call for competition. Businesses aiming to compete in similar tenders can leverage their scale and existing frameworks, which typically cater to regional or local authority demands, to expand their market presence and achieve growth in the public procurement sector.
