Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought upgraded PCs for its hospital operations. The requirement was for computer-related equipment, rather than a service or works contract. The supplier was Cirrus Containments. The procurement identifies the Trust as the buyer and gives Watford as its location; it does not identify a separate delivery site for the equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Cirrus Containments was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 27 February 2026 and runs from 2 March 2026 to 30 April 2029. Its value is £11,010 excluding VAT, or £13,212 including VAT. The award is for computer-related equipment. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or participation requirements.

This award shows that West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys upgraded PCs through a direct, below-threshold route and that a supplier of computer-related equipment can meet the requirement. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate that they can supply and deliver the specified PCs reliably and at an appropriate scale for hospital operations. The procurement identifies no specialist accreditation, technical standard or other qualification, so the evidence of competitiveness here is the ability to supply the required computer equipment, rather than a stated service capability or accreditation.
