UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority procured personal computers for its Digital Inclusion Youth Guarantee Trailblazer Programme. The requirement was for the purchase and supply of devices to support the programme’s digital inclusion objectives for young people. The goods category was personal computers, classified under CPV 30213000. Delivery was required within the Liverpool City Region area of the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Liverpool. This opportunity therefore suited suppliers of computer hardware and related device supply, rather than providers of general digital training or standalone consultancy. Businesses with experience supplying public-sector or community-focused device programmes would have been relevant, particularly those able to coordinate delivery across the Liverpool City Region and meet the buyer’s requirements for a defined, short-term equipment purchase.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. ACS Technology Group Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract is active for the period from 1 September 2026 to 1 November 2026. Its value is £67,410 excluding VAT, or £80,892 including VAT. The tender was evaluated within a limited-competition procedure for the supply of personal computers. The published outcome records the award against the single lot and confirms that the selected supplier is ACS Technology Group Ltd. This was a below-threshold goods procurement led by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, with the resulting contract focused on supplying devices for the Digital Inclusion Youth Guarantee Trailblazer Programme.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers tracking digital inclusion hardware demand from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply personal computers at comparable public-sector scale, manage fulfilment for a regional programme, and deliver reliably within a defined implementation window. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was not limited to a large national technology integrator. Relevant businesses include computer hardware distributors, public-sector device suppliers, and technology firms able to source, configure where required, and coordinate delivery of equipment for youth or community programmes. Evidence of dependable logistics, product availability, public-sector contract management and experience supporting digitally excluded users would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next assesses similar provision.
