UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen commissioned the provision of laptops for its operations. The requirement is for computer equipment and associated supplies, categorised under CPV 30200000. Delivery is in Blackburn with Darwen, supporting the council as the public-sector buyer. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying IT laptops rather than wider IT consultancy, software development or managed services. The named requirement is for laptop hardware, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors, resellers and IT equipment suppliers able to provide suitable devices to a local authority. The procurement concerns one requirement and one delivery area, with the work centred on supplying the equipment to Blackburn with Darwen.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Advania UK (CCS) Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 8 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £33,543 excluding VAT, or £40,251.60 including VAT. The process comprised one completed lot covering the laptop requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome shows a single supplier receiving the award. This was a limited rather than open procedure, so competition was restricted to invited participants. The published outcome identifies the procurement as a completed contract for the provision of IT laptops.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Blackburn with Darwen for business laptops supplied at local-authority scale through a limited below-threshold competition. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to source, configure and deliver laptop equipment reliably, with the operational capacity to fulfil a concentrated hardware order within a short delivery window. Relevant experience would include public-sector or corporate device supply, product specification and compatibility checks, asset identification, warranty administration and coordinated delivery. A credible supplier is likely to need established manufacturer or distributor relationships, dependable stock access and the ability to provide clear pricing and compliant documentation. The awarded supplier is a large IT business, indicating that established fulfilment capacity and a professional procurement response are useful strengths for this buyer’s future laptop requirements.
