Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement contract, titled "Apple Equipment, Accessories & Education Support Services," was initiated by the Education Authority in the United Kingdom, specifically located in Belfast. This process falls under the Goods category, aimed at supplying Apple devices, accessories, and education support services. The procurement was conducted under the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6098 Lot 6, with the contract award signed on 23 March 2026, amounting to £19,000,000. The procurement method was limited, meaning it was awarded without a prior call for competition, and falls outside the directive's scope. Although the status of the lot was cancelled, the contract remains active, offering potential for a 24-month extension option.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for business growth, especially for firms specialising in technology products and support services. Businesses with expertise in supplying computer equipment and facilitating educational support are well-suited to compete, given the quality-focused award criteria which emphasise service delivery, support methodology, social value, and competitive pricing. The contract's significant value indicates the potential scale for capable suppliers like large-scale enterprises, such as Academia Limited, which was awarded the contract. Companies seeking to engage with the public sector in technology supply and educational services should explore further opportunities arising from established frameworks like TePAS 2.
