UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured personal computing equipment for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered 20 Microsoft Surface Go 4 devices, model XHU-00003, with 20 Microsoft Surface Go Type Cover Keyboards, model KCN-00025, and 60 Lenovo T14 laptops, model 21QDS4RC00. This is a goods requirement for business IT hardware, focused on supplying standard laptops, tablets and compatible keyboard accessories rather than software development, managed services or installation. The buyer is Anchor Hanover Group, a public authority based in Bradford. The equipment supports the organisation’s operational computing needs and represents a mixed-device supply requirement combining Microsoft and Lenovo products. Businesses active in public-sector hardware supply, reseller distribution or corporate device fulfilment would recognise the requirement as a straightforward equipment procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an e-auction. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and comprised one lot. BALLICOM LIMITED was awarded the contract on 9 February 2026. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026 and runs from 9 February 2026 to 8 February 2027. Its value is £72,333.80 excluding VAT and £86,800.56 including VAT. The awarded supplier is responsible for the single lot covering all listed equipment: Microsoft Surface Go 4 devices, Surface Go Type Cover Keyboards and Lenovo T14 laptops. The award remains active, and the contract is active. The completed e-auction indicates that suppliers were evaluated through an electronic competitive process for this hardware requirement.

This award shows demand from Anchor Hanover Group for a mixed portfolio of business laptops, tablets and accessories, supplied as a coordinated hardware package. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to current Microsoft Surface and Lenovo commercial product lines, the ability to source exact manufacturer models and quantities, and established reseller or distribution arrangements. Strong bid preparation would also require accurate product matching, clear pricing across different device types, and the operational capacity to fulfil a consolidated order for multiple device families. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that scale alone was not the defining characteristic of the awarded business. IT hardware resellers, corporate device suppliers and distributors with public-sector tender experience are the closest commercial peers for this requirement.
