Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College procured ICT hardware and peripherals for Chapel, specifically laptops and monitors. The requirement falls within computer equipment and supplies and was delivered to the Chapel location. It used Lot 1, Desktop PC and Portable Device Solutions, under the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework. The purchasing organisation is Hopwood Hall College, an education body based in Middleton. The requirement was for goods rather than installation, consultancy or ongoing managed services. Businesses relevant to this procurement include suppliers of laptops, monitors, desktop and portable computing equipment, and associated ICT peripherals. The purchasing need was focused on supplying standard hardware through an established public sector purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hopwood Hall College used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, calling off the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework under a route stated to be compliant with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award was made to Albion Computers PLC, which submitted the successful offer among eight bids received. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract value is £127,756. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and is active. The procurement record identifies Lot 1 as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. No contract end date or duration is stated.

This award demonstrates a substantial education-sector requirement for laptops and monitors at Chapel, delivered through a compliant ICT hardware framework rather than an openly advertised standalone competition. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to an established public sector framework or another compliant procurement route, and the ability to provide desktop and portable device solutions as part of a broader hardware and peripherals offer. Competitive pricing is central: the award was assessed on price alone, and eight bids were received. A credible future competitor would therefore need dependable supply of standard laptops and monitors, strong pricing discipline, and the operational capacity to fulfil a college-scale hardware order. Albion Computers PLC’s selection indicates that a large, specialist computer supplier was suited to the requirement.
