Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office bought a technology refresh and continuity supply contract for computer hardware. The requirement covers portable computers, desktop computers and touch-screen monitors, with the equipment supporting the Home Office and wider areas that rely on the contract. This is a goods procurement for end-user computing and related technology refresh activity, classified under CPV 30213100 for portable computers. Delivery and use extend across the UK. The requirement is intended to maintain continuity of hardware supply and support technology refresh, rather than provide a standalone installation or construction project. Businesses relevant to this requirement include computer manufacturers, authorised resellers, distributors and technology suppliers able to supply equipment nationally.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contracted stage. The Home Office awarded the contract to CDW UK Ltd, and the contract is active. It was signed on 18 March 2025 and runs from 18 March 2025 to 17 March 2027. The original contract value was £30 million excluding VAT. A modification in August 2026 increased the value by £8 million excluding VAT, making the new total contract value £38 million excluding VAT. The modification was made to provide additional supplies and maintain continuity and technology refresh for the Home Office and wider areas relying on the contract. The process concerned one lot covering the full requirement.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for a nationally delivered end-user computing refresh covering portable computers, desktop computers and touch-screen monitors. Suppliers competing for a future requirement with the Home Office would need dependable access to a broad hardware portfolio, strong distribution and fulfilment arrangements, and the capacity to support continuity of supply across UK operations. Credibility would also depend on managing refresh cycles at substantial scale, maintaining compatibility with existing technology, and responding to additional hardware demand without disrupting service. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, authorised distributors, national resellers and technology partners with established public-sector supply capability and the operational capacity to support a large, multi-site customer.
