UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is buying 50 business laptops for delivery in Swansea. The requirement is for 40 14-inch HP Firefly laptops, or equivalent products, and 10 16-inch HP ZBook Power laptops, or equivalent products. This is a goods requirement for office and computing equipment and supplies, rather than a software, construction or service contract. The laptops are intended to meet the council’s stated specifications and will need to be supplied as a single requirement. Businesses supplying business-grade laptops, IT hardware distributors and resellers, and manufacturers able to offer equivalent models are the most directly relevant prospects. The requirement is being managed by City & County of Swansea as the public-sector buyer.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 12 to 13 October 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £100,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price, weighted at 80%, and quality, weighted at 20%. The quality assessment covers product warranty and support at 10%, performance at 5%, and additional services at 5%. The contract is intended for completion over the stated two-day period.

This opportunity suits suppliers with access to UK channel stock and the ability to provide 50 business laptops within three weeks of successful notification. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Competitors need to source either the specified HP Firefly and HP ZBook Power models or demonstrate suitable equivalent products that meet the buyer’s specifications. Relevant commercial strengths include reliable hardware distribution, stock availability, order fulfilment and delivery capability. Suppliers should also be able to provide product warranty and support, demonstrate product performance, and offer additional services, because these quality factors together account for 20% of the evaluation. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to capable laptop resellers, distributors and IT suppliers.
