Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority procured end-user computer equipment and associated devices. The requirement covered the provision of end-user devices and related equipment, classified as computer equipment and supplies (CPV 30200000). The Authority joined an aggregated competition managed by the Government Commercial Agency, which ran the procurement through its framework agreement. The equipment was for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a goods contract focused on supplying devices and associated equipment, rather than a wider IT service or works project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active, with an awarded value of £1,118,729. The competition was run by the Government Commercial Agency as a further competition under Lot 2 of its RM6098 framework, using a limited procedure. Four bids were recorded. Evaluation was weighted 70% on price, 20% on quality and 10% on social value. The tender data marks the single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; no cancellation of the award or contract is reported.

For suppliers of end-user computing equipment, this award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand from the Civil Nuclear Police Authority for a sizeable supply of devices and associated equipment. The route used was a further competition through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6098 framework, so a credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework route and the capacity to fulfil an aggregated equipment requirement. The evaluation placed the greatest weight on price, while also assessing quality and social value. Suppliers would therefore need competitive pricing alongside reliable product quality and a clear, evidenced social-value offer. The successful supplier was a large computer supplier, indicating that the requirement was suited to an established provider able to support procurement and delivery at scale. Evidence of dependable supply and experience with comparable equipment requirements would strengthen a future offer.
