Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured high-performance mobile workstation laptops: specifically HP ZBook 8 G1i devices. This is a goods requirement for business computing hardware rather than software, managed services or installation works. The buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public-sector organisation based in Warrington. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot and concerns the supply of hardware for the organisation’s operational needs. The item is classified under CPV 44316400, covering hardware. The named requirement is limited to the provision of high-performance laptops, so businesses should assess their ability to source and supply the specified HP ZBook equipment, or an equivalent procurement route where permitted by the buyer’s requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one supplier selected: Probrand Ltd. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £87,516 excluding VAT, or £105,019.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The buyer treated the requirement as goods and used one lot. The available procurement information identifies the product specification and the limited-competition route; it does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. The selected supplier is Probrand Ltd, a large Birmingham-based technology supplier.

This award is useful market evidence for technology resellers, distributors and public-sector hardware specialists supplying high-performance mobile workstations. A credible competitor for this buyer would need reliable access to HP ZBook 8 G1i equipment, or the precise technical configuration required, together with the purchasing capacity and fulfilment capability to supply a complete hardware order. Experience in limited-competition public procurement would be relevant, particularly the ability to respond quickly to a defined below-threshold requirement and provide clear product compliance, pricing and delivery arrangements. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that scale and established technology distribution capability were commercially relevant. Businesses tracking Nuclear Restoration Services Limited should focus on specialist workstation supply rather than general IT consultancy or software services.
