Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham bought HP laptops for use by officers and staff. This is a goods procurement for computer hardware, with delivery activity in the Durham and wider North East England area. The requirement covers the supply of laptops rather than associated consultancy, software development or construction work. The named buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, based at Police Headquarters in Durham. The selected supplier is Insight Direct UK Ltd, a large UK technology supplier headquartered in Sheffield. The procurement was intended to provide standard workplace computing equipment for policing personnel and other staff members. Businesses operating in public-sector hardware supply, managed device provision or end-user computing would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to supply HP laptop equipment at organisational scale through an established purchasing framework.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Insight Direct UK Ltd was selected for the HP laptop requirement. The contract value is £416,892, and it was signed on 31 July 2026. The buying route was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the YatH Hardware Framework Agreement. The procurement rationale states that the purchase fell outside the scope of the relevant directive. The award basis was price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The tender is marked complete, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled; the published outcome nevertheless identifies an active award and active contract with Insight Direct UK Ltd. The contract is for the laptop supply requirement and no renewal or additional-purchase option is recorded.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates established demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham for HP laptops to support officers and staff. A credible future supplier would need to source and supply HP laptop hardware reliably, meet public-sector purchasing requirements and handle delivery at the scale of a single contract worth several hundred thousand pounds. The winning supplier was a large technology business, indicating that organisational capacity, procurement capability and dependable fulfilment were important in satisfying this requirement. Access to the YatH Hardware Framework Agreement was central to the purchasing route, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need an appropriate framework position or a route into an equivalent public-sector hardware arrangement. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive equipment pricing and efficient supply important commercial capabilities.
