Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen procured HP laptops for postgraduate research use during the 2026–27 period. The requirement was for the supply and delivery of mobile computers, classified under CPV 30213100 (portable computers), for use in Aberdeen. It was structured as a single requirement and described as a call-off from the Mobile Client Devices Framework, reference SP24-008. The buyer is the University of Aberdeen, an education organisation based at King’s College in Aberdeen. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that supply HP laptops and associated mobile computing equipment to higher education institutions, particularly suppliers able to fulfil institutional orders for postgraduate researchers and deliver to Aberdeen.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure and was run as a call-off from a framework agreement. HP Inc UK Limited was selected as the supplier for the laptop requirement. One bid was recorded, and it was submitted electronically; none came from an SME. The contract value is £155,762, and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The resulting contract is recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information relates to the single requirement; no separate award values or additional suppliers are reported.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that the University of Aberdeen has a substantial, repeatable requirement for HP laptops for postgraduate research users. A credible future competitor would need to source and supply HP portable computers at institutional scale, manage a single sizeable order, and deliver reliably to Aberdeen. Experience of supplying higher education or other public-sector customers would help demonstrate understanding of structured purchasing and framework call-offs, although the award information does not identify specific accreditations or technical requirements. The sole recorded bid came from a large supplier, indicating that the requirement attracted established market capacity rather than an SME bidder. Businesses able to combine manufacturer access, volume fulfilment and dependable delivery are the closest fit.
