Summary of the contracting process

Forth Valley College bought Apple Mac mini desktop computers for delivery to its Stirling campus. The requirement was for the supply of Apple Mac mini devices, including associated equipment and services available through the NWUPC Framework Agreement for Apple Equipment and Associated Services (ITS3028). This is a goods procurement in the information and communications technology equipment category, covered by CPV 30200000. The college is an education organisation based in Falkirk and is the buyer for the requirement. The procurement concerned one completed lot covering the supply of the devices. Businesses relevant to this requirement include authorised Apple equipment suppliers, technology distributors and resellers able to provide Mac mini devices and arrange delivery to a college campus.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Academia Ltd. It used an open procedure through the ITS3028 NW Apple Equipment and Associated Services framework. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically; the bid statistics also record one SME bid and one bid from outside the EU. The contract value is £67,933.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The award release was recorded on 13 August 2026. Academia Ltd was the sole awarded supplier for the completed lot. The contract covers the supply of Apple Mac mini devices to Forth Valley College’s Stirling campus.

This award confirms demand from Forth Valley College for a substantial supply of Apple Mac mini devices through a recognised Apple equipment framework. A credible future competitor would need access to Apple Mac mini supply, the operational capacity to fulfil a college-scale hardware order, and reliable delivery to the Stirling campus. Experience supplying education or other public-sector customers would help demonstrate that the supplier can handle institutional purchasing and delivery requirements. The procurement route also indicates that suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer should understand the relevant ITS3028 framework and its process for supplying Apple equipment and associated services. Businesses that combine Apple hardware distribution with dependable fulfilment and public-sector framework capability are the closest fit for this requirement.
