UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process concerns the Sheffield Hallam University's project titled "IT Hardware Refresh 2026 - Additional Desktops," which falls under the goods category, specifically desktop computers. Located in Sheffield, within the United Kingdom, the contracting authority aimed to acquire 34 desktop computers through a direct award via the National Education Framework. The process has reached its completion stage, with important dates including the contract award date on 24th July 2026 and the contract period beginning on 5th August 2026, lasting until 31st July 2029. The tender was conducted using a "below threshold - without competition" method, aligning with the legal framework established by the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in providing IT hardware, particularly those experienced with education sector contracts, to engage with educational institutions such as Sheffield Hallam University. It illustrates a demand for suppliers capable of offering quick and reliable delivery of desktop computers. Large companies like APOGEE CORPORATION LIMITED, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate suitability for such tenders due to their capacity and established presence in the market. Enterprises aiming to capture similar opportunities should focus on forming partnerships within educational and public sectors, emphasising their ability to deliver high-quality IT solutions efficiently and cost-effectively.
