Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Grŵp Llandrillo Menai procured 400 Acer Chromebook Plus 515 touchscreen laptops with 15.6-inch screens. The equipment is intended to support teaching, learning and operational activities across the group’s campuses in North Wales. This is a goods supply requirement for portable computers, rather than a managed IT, installation or support service. The buyer is an education organisation based in Colwyn Bay, serving campuses across the Grŵp Llandrillo Menai estate. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the full quantity and specified Chromebook model, so relevant suppliers are those able to source and supply the complete order of identical devices for education and operational use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. It was a call-off from the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, Lot 1 for desktop PC and portable device solutions. A competitive quotation exercise was run among framework suppliers, with the contract awarded to Albion Computers PLC as the lowest priced compliant quotation. Three bids were received, all from SMEs, and all were submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 with a value of £204,864 including the published contract value currency of GBP. The award is active. The procurement’s stated award basis was price, subject to compliance with the requirements.

This award demonstrates established demand from a large further-education group for standardised touchscreen Chromebooks supplied in a complete batch. Suppliers competing for similar requirements would need reliable access to the specified Acer Chromebook Plus 515 model, or the ability to meet an equivalent specification where permitted, together with robust distribution and fulfilment capacity. Credibility would depend on supplying 400 devices accurately and consistently, meeting the buyer’s technical and compliance requirements, and offering competitive pricing. The route to market is significant: the purchase was made through the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, so framework membership and the ability to respond to competitive quotation exercises would be important for future opportunities with this buyer. The three bids were all from SMEs, indicating that the scale is accessible to capable specialist resellers as well as larger distributors.
