Summary of the contracting process

Hull College procured hardware laptops and monitors as goods for its college operations. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under NHS Framework Y26005, Lot 1, which can be used by any public sector authority. The named buyer is Hull College, based in Hull. The awarded supply covered computer hardware, including the laptop and monitor equipment required by the college. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that supply business laptops, computer monitors and associated hardware to public-sector organisations, particularly suppliers able to operate through an established framework and respond to a focused mini-competition. The requirement was treated as a single lot and was not divided into separate equipment categories.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited competition below the relevant threshold, reopening competition under the NHS Y26005 framework. Five bids were received and all five final-stage bidders were SMEs. INFORMATION AND DATA NETWORKS SUPPLIES LIMITED was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026 for £80,000 gross. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. Hull College is the buyer and the contract is active. The award was evaluated through the framework mini-competition process; the published data does not set out individual quality, price or technical weightings. The procurement covered one completed lot for the laptop and monitor hardware requirement.

This award shows a defined demand from Hull College for laptop and monitor hardware supplied through a public-sector framework mini-competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply business-grade computer equipment, understand public-sector purchasing routes and be able to respond efficiently to a focused competition rather than a full open tender. Framework access is commercially important because the buyer used an established framework with reopened competition and any public-sector authority can use the framework. The result also shows that SME suppliers can compete successfully for this type of requirement: all five final-stage bidders were SMEs, and the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Relevant businesses are therefore hardware resellers or IT supply firms with reliable sourcing, fulfilment and public-sector account-management capability.
