Summary of the contracting process

Great Yarmouth Borough Council procured replacement laptop computers for use in Great Yarmouth, under a purchase titled “Purchase of Laptops”. The requirement covers portable computers, specifically HTE-011002 models identified as PRO 14 PC14DELTA JADE14DCTO and PRO 14+ PB14DELTA TAROKO14DCTO. This is a goods requirement for an organisation operating from the council’s Town Hall in Great Yarmouth. The procurement was awarded as a single requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. It is therefore relevant to suppliers of business laptops and portable computing equipment, particularly those able to provide the specified PRO 14 and PRO 14+ configurations as replacement devices for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One award was made to ADVANIA UK LIMITED. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and ran from 23 June 2026 to 23 June 2026. Its value was £126,514 excluding VAT and £151,817 including VAT. The award covered the single laptop supply requirement. The selected supplier is a large Manchester-based IT supplier. The process used direct procurement rather than an open or competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a specific purchase route for this below-threshold requirement. The contract is recorded as active, while the underlying tender is complete.

This procurement indicates demand from Great Yarmouth Borough Council for replacement business laptops matching defined PRO 14 and PRO 14+ configurations. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would be established laptop or IT equipment providers able to source and supply portable computers to precise model specifications, manage public-sector orders, and deliver reliably in Great Yarmouth or elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Experience supplying councils or other public authorities would help demonstrate familiarity with public-sector purchasing and compliance requirements. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, showing that a credible competitor should understand low-value public procurement routes as well as competitive tendering. The requirement is focused on goods supply rather than software, consultancy or installation services.
