UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council bought a supply of portable computers for children and young people who need access to education outside a school setting. The requirement is for a bank of laptops that can be issued to these learners, rather than a general IT service or school-based device programme. Delivery is in Derbyshire. The purchase is categorised as goods and concerns laptop supply; no installation, maintenance or support service is described. The council is the buyer, with the laptops intended to help young people continue their education when they are not attending school. This requirement is relevant to computer hardware suppliers able to provide laptops for an education-focused public-sector use.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CBC Computer Systems Limited. It was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract is valued at £55,950 excluding VAT (£67,140 including VAT). The purchase was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the procedure is recorded as unknown. There was one lot, covering the laptop supply. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract award date is not separately stated; the published contract details establish the signing date. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are set out in the available procurement information.

This award shows Derbyshire County Council’s demand for a bank of portable computers to support children and young people accessing education outside school. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply suitable laptops in sufficient quantity for the council to issue them to learners, with the capability to fulfil an education-focused order. The selected supplier, CBC Computer Systems Limited, is an SME, demonstrating that this scale of laptop supply was met by a small or medium-sized business. The procurement was below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through that route. The work described is hardware supply; there is no stated requirement for installation, ongoing support, specialist accreditation or other services.
