Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside procured end-user computer equipment and supplies for Humberside Police. The requirement covered 550 laptops and 300 mobile phones, together with associated end-user device provision. It was a goods contract delivered for the Humberside policing area. The purchase formed part of a wider IT hardware, networking and security equipment framework, with this requirement taken from its end-user devices, peripherals and associated ICT ancillary items and consumables lot. The opportunity therefore suited suppliers able to provide business laptops and mobile phones at public-sector scale, with the fulfilment capability and product range needed to support an operational police organisation. The named buyer is based in Cottingham, while the selected supplier is based in Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure as a direct award under the West Yorkshire Combined Authority framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The award rationale states that the contract went to the first-ranked supplier under the framework’s award procedure. Insight Direct (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract for £800,805, inclusive of the recorded contract value, on 10 September 2026; the contract was signed on the same date and is active. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The end-user devices lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are recorded against it.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the Humberside policing organisation for substantial volumes of standard end-user technology, particularly laptops and mobile phones. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to current business-grade devices, the ability to supply and support mixed device categories, and operational capacity for a sizeable coordinated delivery. Experience of public-sector purchasing would be valuable, especially understanding framework call-off rules, direct-award routes and compliance with pre-agreed supplier rankings. Suppliers should also be able to compete convincingly on price, as price was the recorded evaluation basis. The wider framework context indicates that familiarity with IT hardware and related technology supply arrangements is relevant, although this specific requirement focused on end-user devices rather than networking or security systems.
