UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured goods for a network storage infrastructure refresh and renewal under its ICT Services Hardware Framework. The requirement covers computer equipment and supplies, with delivery in Liverpool and the wider Liverpool area. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the procurement formed part of its information and communications technology infrastructure needs. The awarded requirement was handled as one lot and concerned network storage infrastructure rather than general ICT services. This is relevant to businesses supplying enterprise storage hardware, associated computer equipment and infrastructure refresh solutions for local-authority environments. Suppliers whose offering combines equipment supply with the ability to support a council-scale technology refresh would be aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective direct award under the ICT Services Hardware Framework, below the applicable threshold and without a competitive process. Insight Direct (UK) Ltd received the award for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 31 May 2028. Its value is £89,255.24 excluding VAT, or £107,106.29 including VAT. Evaluation was conducted through the framework award route rather than an open competition. The process used a framework call-off for a network storage infrastructure refresh and renewal for Liverpool City Council.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Council for enterprise network storage infrastructure and related computer equipment, delivered through an established ICT hardware framework. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need a strong supply chain for business-grade storage and associated infrastructure, dependable fulfilment capacity, and experience supporting public-sector technology environments. Capability to meet framework purchasing requirements and to deliver equipment reliably for a council-scale refresh would be important. The successful supplier was a large technology reseller, indicating that breadth of catalogue, manufacturer relationships and operational capacity were relevant to this purchase. Businesses with comparable hardware supply and infrastructure-refresh capability can use the award as a reference point for the buyer’s requirements.
