Summary of the contracting process

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust bought IT equipment, specifically tablet computers, for use in its NHS operations. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns the supply of tablet devices rather than installation, software development or wider managed IT services. The purchasing organisation is the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based in Leeds. The named supplier is Digital Devices Limited, a London-based IT equipment business. The procurement covers one requirement for IT equipment under the title PRO-100 2026_27. Businesses relevant to this demand are distributors, resellers and manufacturers able to supply tablet computers to an NHS foundation trust and meet its ordering and delivery requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Digital Devices Limited was selected for the IT equipment requirement, with the award recorded on 27 August 2026 and the contract signed on 9 September 2026. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. One lot was completed, and the award and contract relate to tablet computers. The resulting contract is active. As this was a direct award without competition, the published process does not set out a comparative tender evaluation basis; the key commercial route was a non-competitive purchase below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for tablet computers over a one-year contract period, giving competing suppliers a clear reference point for the type of public-sector demand involved. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would be established tablet computer distributors, resellers or manufacturers able to provide standard IT equipment reliably to an NHS foundation trust. Credibility would depend on demonstrating access to suitable devices, dependable fulfilment and the operational capacity to support organisational purchasing rather than offering unrelated IT consultancy or software services. Experience supplying public-sector or healthcare customers could help a competitor show that it understands formal ordering, delivery and accountability expectations. The buyer’s use of a direct below-threshold route also indicates a relatively focused equipment purchase.
