Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured IT hardware for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered 80 Motorola G75 mobile phones, 30 Lenovo ThinkPad T14 laptops, five Microsoft Surface Pro for Business devices and five Microsoft Surface keyboards. This is a goods procurement focused on personal computers and mobile telephones, including the supply of associated computer peripherals. The equipment supports the buyer’s operational technology needs across its UK activities. The relevant supply category is business IT hardware, particularly laptops, smartphones and tablet-style computers. Suppliers in this market would need to provide the specified branded equipment, manage fulfilment of a mixed hardware order and deliver the products to the buyer’s required UK location.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold e-auction. One lot was awarded to BALLICOM LIMITED. The award was active and the contract was signed on 29 May 2026. The contract value is £51,505 excluding VAT, or £61,806 including VAT. The contract runs from 29 May 2026 to 28 May 2027. The evaluation route was an electronic auction rather than a conventional tender evaluation, with the completed procedure covering the specified quantities of phones, laptops, Surface devices and keyboards. The selected supplier is a Coventry-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The published outcome records one supplier and one contract for the full requirement.

This procurement shows Anchor Hanover Group’s demand for mixed workplace IT hardware bought through a below-threshold electronic auction. A credible future competitor would need established access to Motorola, Lenovo and Microsoft business products, with the ability to source exact model references rather than offer broadly equivalent equipment. It would also need to fulfil a consolidated order containing mobile phones, laptops, Surface devices and accessories, while maintaining reliable UK delivery and product availability. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be served by a focused technology reseller or hardware specialist rather than only a large national integrator. Experience with public-sector or housing-sector purchasing and electronic auction procedures would strengthen a supplier’s position.
