UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured computer equipment and supplies for digital equipment needed by new starters at its new Rwanda Hub office. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns an office technology fit-out rather than IT consultancy, software development or construction. The named buying organisation is Coventry University, based in Coventry. The procurement title identifies Rwanda as the hub location, while the recorded delivery address is in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier, Innovation for Engineering & Technology Group Ltd, is based in Kigali, Rwanda, indicating a requirement connected with the university’s activity in Rwanda. Businesses supplying general computer equipment, peripherals and related digital office hardware are the most relevant potential competitors for similar requirements from this buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. Innovation for Engineering & Technology Group Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 2 June 2026, started on 3 June 2026 and ended on 30 June 2026. Its value was £78,628.96 excluding VAT, or £94,354.75 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award covers computer equipment and supplies for the single lot. The evaluation basis is therefore reflected in the direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive scoring exercise. This outcome shows a short-duration, single-supplier purchase for a defined office-start-up requirement.

This procurement is relevant to established computer equipment and office technology suppliers able to provide a complete package for new office starters, rather than firms offering only professional IT advice or software services. The selected supplier is a large organisation based in Kigali, so capability to support Coventry University’s Rwanda-related operations and manage fulfilment associated with that market is commercially relevant. Competitors would need dependable access to standard digital equipment and supplies, responsive order fulfilment and the capacity to deliver a concentrated requirement for a new office. The use of a direct below-threshold route also indicates that a supplier’s existing relationship, visibility to the buyer and ability to meet a clearly defined small-to-medium equipment requirement may matter.
