Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen procured HP laptops for staff devices under its Mobile Client Devices Framework, supporting staff computing requirements for the 2026–27 period. The purchase is for goods rather than services or works, comprising laptop computers classified under CPV 30213100. Delivery is associated with the University of Aberdeen in Aberdeen. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from Framework SP-24-008, so the relevant supply capability is the provision of HP-branded laptops and associated fulfilment through an established public-sector framework route. HP Inc UK Limited was the selected supplier for this staff-device requirement. The buying organisation is a public university, making experience of supplying institutional users and meeting public-sector ordering and delivery arrangements relevant to comparable suppliers.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from Framework SP-24-008. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. HP Inc UK Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £329,623.22. The award notice records the purchase as an award against the Mobile Client Devices Framework. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The process therefore concluded with a single supplier selection for the complete laptop requirement, rather than multiple supplier or lot awards. The University of Aberdeen is the buyer and the procurement was managed for its staff-device needs.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial recurring demand from the University of Aberdeen for staff laptops, delivered through a framework call-off rather than a standalone purchase. A credible future competitor would need to supply HP laptops at institutional scale, manage a sizeable device order, and operate reliably within a public-sector framework and call-off process. The successful route also indicates that suppliers need to handle electronic tendering and provide a clear, compliant response to a defined equipment requirement. Relevant strengths include dependable hardware sourcing, stock and fulfilment capacity, delivery to Aberdeen, account management for a university customer, and experience supporting staff-device deployments. Suppliers able to combine manufacturer-level product access with public procurement compliance would be well placed when this requirement returns.
