Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Truro & Penwith Academy Trust is buying Windows devices, display equipment, charging trolleys and related peripherals for use across its schools and central services. This is a supply requirement for computer equipment, rather than a stand-alone technology service or construction project. Delivery is to the trust’s schools and central services in Cornwall. The requirement covers both end-user devices and the supporting equipment needed to deploy and use them across an academy trust. The trust is based in Threemilestone, near Truro. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the Crescent Purchasing Consortium ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework, specifically its desktop PC and portable device solutions lot.

The contract has been awarded to Stone Technologies Limited, and the contract is active. The award was made on 23 October 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. Its value is £2,106,177.48. The competition used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a call-off under the existing CPC framework. Five bids were recorded. The tender had one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled in the process data; the active award and contract are recorded against it. Evaluation was weighted 70% on price, with the remaining 30% for delivery, deployment and programme management; device lifecycle, support and warranty; technical compatibility, device management and service quality; sustainability and whole-life value; and added value and continuous improvement. The contract allows two 12-month extension options.

For suppliers competing for similar school-wide technology requirements, this award indicates that the trust buys Windows devices alongside displays, charging trolleys and peripherals as a coordinated package for schools and central services. A credible competitor would need to supply this range of equipment and demonstrate the ability to manage delivery, deployment and programme delivery across multiple educational sites. Strong device lifecycle, support and warranty provision, technical compatibility and device management would matter, alongside service quality. The evaluation also gave weight to sustainability, whole-life value, added value and continuous improvement, so a supplier would need to show how its offer performs beyond initial purchase price. Price was the largest evaluation factor. The route used was a call-off from the CPC ICT hardware framework, so relevant framework access and experience supplying education customers at this scale would be commercially important.
