UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, focuses on the "Digital Inclusion Youth Guarantee Trailblazer Programme" for purchasing devices. This tender falls under the industry category of goods, specifically targeting personal computers. The processes involved moved through the limited competition procurement method, indicating a below-threshold, competitive scenario. Key stages included the tender and subsequent award, with the most recent contract status set as active and covering the delivery period from 1st September 2026 to 1st November 2026. The total contract value is £80,892, with the award having been signed on 17th July 2026. Delivery is aimed at the UKD7 region.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the technology sector, particularly those supplying personal computer systems. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) such as ACS Technology Group Ltd, which successfully secured this contract, may find similar opportunities to expand their business by participating in such government contracts with tailored devices or technology solutions. Companies capable of delivering digital solutions cost-effectively would be well-suited to compete in similar future contracts, given the less extensive competition driven by the limited procurement method.
