UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Hallam University procured 34 desktop computers as part of its 2026 IT hardware refresh. This is a goods requirement for supplying desktop computer equipment to support the university’s information technology estate. The buying organisation is Sheffield Hallam University, based in Sheffield. The procurement concerns supply rather than installation, maintenance, software or wider managed IT services. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The requirement is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, distributors, resellers and framework suppliers able to provide desktop computer hardware at institutional scale, particularly those serving universities and other public-sector organisations. The procurement was arranged through the National Education Framework’s relevant desktop and multifunction-device framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, through the National Education Framework (UOE/DU/MFD/01). The award date was 24 July 2026. Apogee Corporation Limited was selected for the single lot. The award value is £56,678 excluding VAT, or £68,063.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The evaluation basis was the direct-award route under the existing framework rather than a competitive tender. The contract is for 34 desktop computers, and the award is recorded as active. A signature milestone was scheduled for 4 August 2026.

This award demonstrates an established requirement at Sheffield Hallam University for a substantial batch of desktop computers, with purchasing conducted through a recognised national education framework. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable desktop hardware, the capacity to fulfil a 34-unit institutional order, and the ability to supply universities through the relevant framework route. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that they can meet public-sector purchasing processes and provide reliable equipment at education-sector scale. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer’s requirement was met by a business with significant delivery capacity. The opportunity is most relevant to framework-listed manufacturers, distributors and specialist IT resellers targeting higher-education hardware refresh programmes.
