Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust (SCFT) was for the "Provision of IT Hardware" under the industry category of Computer equipment and supplies, specified by CPV code 30200000. The process aimed to appoint a single provider to supply end-user devices such as laptops, desktops, mobile phones, and tablets. The procurement was ongoing under an award stage, with CDW Limited being the selected supplier. This tender process, initiated on 23rd June 2026, was a limited procedure involving a further competition under the Tech Devices framework, offering a robust competitive environment without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement, concluded with the signing of a contract on 19th June 2026, is located in the UK South East region (UKJ2) and entails a potential contract length of two years, which could be extended by up to two additional years.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers specialised in IT hardware who can meet the comprehensive requirements set by SCFT for tech devices and associated services. Companies within the technology sector, especially those equipped to deliver a wide range of devices such as laptops, tablets, and peripherals along with support services, are well-positioned to benefit. Collaboration with NHS organisations through this framework not only positions businesses to secure significant contracts but also enhances their profile and credentials in the public sector. With a total contract value contingent on order volumes and demand, businesses have the opportunity to scale their operations in response to varying procurement needs.
