UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police Authority bought ten configured HP ZBook laptops for its operational needs. This is a supply of business computing equipment, rather than a services or construction contract. Delivery was required across England, Scotland and Wales. The authority is the buyer, and the purchase was made through a competitive quotation process. The equipment is a defined batch of configured laptops, not a broader IT support or managed-services requirement. The selected supplier was a large telecommunications company, indicating that the purchase was handled as a straightforward equipment supply. The requirement is relevant to computer hardware suppliers and resellers able to provide configured HP ZBook devices and distribute them across the UK.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to British Telecommunications Limited. The authority used limited competition through competitive quotation for a below-threshold purchase, with one lot. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 8 October to 7 November 2026. Its value is £37,912.80 excluding VAT, or £45,495.36 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The purchase covers ten configured HP ZBooks. No separate award evaluation criteria are stated in the process details, beyond the competitive quotation route. This was a single-supplier award, rather than a multi-supplier arrangement.

This award shows demand from the British Transport Police Authority for a small, defined batch of configured HP business laptops, delivered across the UK. Suppliers best placed for a repeat requirement would be able to source genuine HP ZBook equipment, configure devices to the buyer’s specification and coordinate delivery across multiple locations. The competition was conducted by quotation, so a credible supplier would need to respond clearly against a defined equipment requirement and offer a competitive supply price. The selected supplier was a large telecoms business, showing that the buyer accepted an established supplier capable of supplying the hardware. This is relevant to computer equipment resellers and IT suppliers with access to HP laptops and the operational capacity to fulfil UK-wide orders.
