Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College procured monitors and personal computers as ICT hardware and peripherals. The requirement falls within computer equipment and supplies and was covered by Lot 1 of the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework. The college is based on Rochdale Road in Middleton, Greater Manchester, and the equipment was intended for delivery in the college’s operating area. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or service contract. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors, resellers and managed IT suppliers able to provide standard computer hardware, particularly desktop PCs and monitors, to an education-sector buyer. The college is a public education body, so suppliers familiar with public-sector purchasing and framework-based supply will be best placed to understand the route used for this requirement.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Hopwood Hall College used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework. The award was made to VeryPC Ltd, and the associated contract is active. The contract value is £90,776 excluding any amounts not stated in the record, in GBP. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The award is recorded as active, although the related lot is recorded as cancelled. Four bids were reported for the lot. Price was the stated award criterion. The framework was used as a compliant route to market under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the buyer stating that a separate call for competition was therefore unnecessary.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for desktop PCs and monitors from Hopwood Hall College, with competition conducted through an established ICT hardware framework and price as the evaluation basis. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable demand would need dependable access to current PC and monitor ranges, the ability to supply complete orders rather than isolated components, and commercial pricing strong enough to perform well where price is decisive. Experience of framework call-offs and public-sector ordering would help, particularly an understanding of compliant quotation, fulfilment and invoicing processes. Suppliers should also be able to manage delivery of standard ICT equipment to an education organisation and provide consistent product support. The selected supplier was a large ICT business, indicating that operational capacity and reliable fulfilment are relevant benchmarks for future competition.
