Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council bought web-based and proprietary computing devices through the Scottish Government’s framework for the supply of Web Based and Proprietary Devices. The requirement covers the supply of computer equipment and related device products, classified under CPV 30213200 for portable computers and 30200000 for computer equipment. The purchasing organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority based at Newtown St Boswells. Delivery is for council requirements across the Scottish Borders. This is a goods procurement rather than a services or construction opportunity. The purchase was made as a framework call-off, so the relevant market is established suppliers of computing devices able to fulfil public-sector equipment orders through a collaborative government purchasing arrangement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Scottish Borders Council selected XMA Limited for the single requirement under the Scottish Government Web Based and Proprietary Device Framework. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and has an active contract status. Its recorded value is £791,573.41. The spend covered the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The underlying procurement route is described as an open procedure, but this notice records a call-off from an existing Scottish Government framework rather than an invitation to tender. One bid was recorded, including one bid from an SME. The notice states that award criteria and price and quality weightings do not apply to this cumulative framework spend.

For competitors, this award demonstrates substantial council demand for web-based and proprietary computing devices supplied through a government framework. A credible future supplier would need the product range and operational capacity to fulfil sizeable public-sector device requirements across the Scottish Borders, while participating in the relevant collaborative framework route. The successful supplier was XMA Limited, a large business, and the recorded bid statistics show that an SME also submitted a bid, indicating that smaller firms can participate in the supply chain or framework market. Relevant strengths are therefore dependable device sourcing, public-sector fulfilment, order management and the ability to support repeat equipment purchasing at council scale. Suppliers without framework access would need to monitor framework opportunities or consider partnership routes.
