Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen bought HP ZBooks, described as mobile client devices, for use in Aberdeen. This was a goods procurement for laptop workstations supplied under an existing framework arrangement. The requirement covered one lot and the purchasing organisation was the University of Aberdeen. HP ZBooks are business-class portable computers, so relevant suppliers include manufacturers, authorised resellers, framework suppliers and technology businesses able to provide and support comparable mobile computing equipment. The procurement description identifies the purchase as an award against a mobile client devices framework. The goods were supplied by HP Inc UK Limited, whose registered business address is in Reading. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers operating in business laptops, mobile workstations, public-sector technology supply or related device fulfilment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure and was a call-off from a framework for mobile client devices. There was one electronic bid, with no bids from small or medium-sized enterprises and one bid from outside the European Union. HP Inc UK Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract value is £146,346.49. The award notice was recorded on 26 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract is active. The evaluation outcome reflects a single submitted bid; the published data does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. No contract period or delivery schedule is stated in the procurement information.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates that the University of Aberdeen has a substantial requirement for business-class mobile computing devices and uses framework call-offs to meet it. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable access to HP ZBooks or comparable mobile workstations, the ability to supply a sizeable device order, and experience operating through public-sector framework arrangements. The single-bid outcome suggests that familiarity with the relevant framework route and efficient electronic tendering may be commercially important. Suppliers should be able to manage procurement, fulfilment and delivery for a university buyer in Aberdeen, while competing with established large technology providers such as HP Inc UK Limited.
