UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured computer equipment and supplies for a corporate network hardware refresh. The requirement covers the provision of ICT hardware and devices in accordance with an equipment schedule and agreed delivery timescales, supporting the Council’s network refresh programme. The buying organisation is Liverpool City Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is in Liverpool and elsewhere within the Liverpool City Council area. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction contract. The requirement is relevant to businesses that supply corporate network hardware, computer equipment and associated supplies, particularly those able to provide a scheduled equipment package for a public-sector network renewal programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, without a competitive process for this call-off. There was one completed lot. The contract was awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD on 21 July 2026 for £583,010.59 excluding VAT, or £699,612.71 including VAT. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award was above the applicable threshold. Evaluation resulted in the award of the single lot to the named supplier; the available outcome data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This was a one-off, supply-only contract for the scheduled hardware refresh.

This award demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement from Liverpool City Council for corporate network hardware, with delivery tied to an organised network refresh programme. Competitors targeting similar future requirements would need a dependable supply capability for computer equipment and network devices, the capacity to assemble and deliver an equipment schedule within agreed timescales, and the operational scale to support a public-sector buyer. Experience of supplying large organisations and working through framework agreements would be commercially relevant, as this purchase was made under a framework rather than through an open competition. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete hardware package, maintain reliable fulfilment and provide clear coordination with the Council’s network renewal activity.
