Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College bought ICT hardware for its 2026/27 capital spending programme: laptops and laptop trollies. The requirement falls within computer equipment and supplies and was intended to support the college’s equipment needs. The college is based on Rochdale Road, Middleton. The procurement used Lot 1 of the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, indicating that the purchase was made through an established framework route rather than as a standalone open-market competition. The awarded supplier, Centerprise International Limited, is a large UK-based business. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of business and education laptops, laptop storage or charging trollies, and associated ICT hardware distribution.

The procurement is complete and has reached award. Hopwood Hall College used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, reference CPC/JE/01/2023, as a compliant route under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was evaluated on price and six bids were recorded. The contract was awarded to Centerprise International Limited and signed on 20 August 2026. Its value is £74,237. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The procurement record also marks Lot 1 as cancelled, despite the active award and contract being recorded against that lot. No contract duration is stated.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers targeting further ICT hardware purchasing by Hopwood Hall College. A credible competitor would need to supply laptops and laptop trollies at education or institutional scale, price them competitively, and manage delivery of a combined hardware order. Access to the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, or an equivalent compliant purchasing route, would be important because this buyer used the framework rather than publishing an open competition. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable fulfilment, product availability, distribution capacity and experience serving public-sector or education customers. The recorded six bids show that competition for this type of requirement can be substantial.
