Summary of the contracting process

Malvern Hills District Council procured new server equipment for Malvern Theatres. This is a goods requirement covering computer equipment and supplies, intended to provide or refresh the theatre’s server infrastructure. The buying organisation is Malvern Hills District Council, based in Malvern. The requirement relates specifically to Malvern Theatres and delivery within the Malvern Hills area. Businesses relevant to this procurement would be suppliers of physical server equipment and associated computer hardware, particularly those able to supply equipment for an operational theatre or similar public-facing venue. The scope published is focused on new server equipment rather than a wider managed IT, software development, telecommunications or general IT support service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Malvern Hills District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot covering the server equipment. The contract was awarded to ONECOM LIMITED. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 and runs from 15 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £53,111 excluding VAT, or £63,733 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published evaluation approach was therefore the direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment of tenders. This procurement has already concluded, so the outcome records an existing supplier relationship rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand from Malvern Hills District Council for new server hardware supporting a named local theatre. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply computer equipment and server infrastructure suitable for a public-sector venue, with the capacity to deliver a complete hardware requirement promptly and reliably. Relevant businesses include established IT hardware resellers, server specialists and technology suppliers with access to recognised equipment manufacturers and dependable fulfilment arrangements. The awarded supplier, ONECOM LIMITED, is a large company, so competitors should be able to operate at a comparable commercial scale or demonstrate a focused specialist capability. The requirement is for goods, rather than ongoing managed services or software development.
