UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

SONI Ltd is seeking suppliers of corporate computing hardware and related services through a framework. The requirement covers infrastructure and end-user computing equipment and peripherals, with suppliers working alongside SONI’s procurement, finance and programme teams and external technical advisers. Products and services include standard laptops and peripherals, USB-C compatibility, device enrolment and registration, servers, warehousing, and delivery to offices or homes across the UK. The framework is intended to support SONI’s workforce and its growth. The main category is office and computing equipment (CPV 30000000).

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure under a selective procurement. The procurement reached tender stage, with a planned maximum of three suppliers on a closed framework; later call-offs will reopen competition. The expression-of-interest deadline was 13 November 2026 at 12:00, questions were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00, and the award decision was due by 10 December 2026. The initial contract period is 15 January 2027 to 14 January 2032, with an option to extend by up to three years, giving a maximum term of eight years. The estimated value is £13.75 million excluding VAT (£16.5 million including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation weights quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide business computing hardware alongside the logistics and technical services needed for a managed supply arrangement. Bidders should be able to propose a standard laptop model and compatible peripherals, manage Autopilot enrolment and hardware registration, integrate with SONI’s existing managed-service-provider image, supply server product families, and warehouse and deliver equipment to UK addresses. SONI is seeking evidence of comparable delivery, including standardised device deployments, large Autopilot fit-outs, home and office delivery, and server call-offs. References are required for at least three comparable contracts from the past three years, including a 200-plus-device Autopilot deployment and a server call-off. Suppliers should also set out service levels, account management, escalation, product refresh and end-of-life arrangements, warranty, risk allocation and pricing; leasing or device-as-a-service models may be proposed.
