Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde bought 140 HP desktop PCs for its centrally managed laboratories. This is a supply contract for desktop computers, delivered to the University in Glasgow. The equipment is intended for use in the University’s managed lab environment. The requirement was handled as a call-off from the Scottish Procurement National Framework for Desktop Client Devices, rather than a standalone purchase. HP Inc UK Limited was selected to supply the PCs. The purchase is relevant to suppliers of desktop computers and associated client-device products, particularly those able to serve higher-education institutions and supply equipment suitable for centrally managed computer laboratories.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HP Inc UK Limited. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £77,667.80. The requirement was for one lot covering 140 desktop PCs. It was a direct-award call-off from the Scottish Procurement National Framework for Desktop Client Devices; the tender records an open procedure, while the description identifies the framework call-off route. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and the award went to HP Inc UK Limited. The contract data does not state a contract end date or duration. The recorded award information does not set out separate technical, quality or price evaluation weightings.

For suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement from the University of Strathclyde, this award indicates demand for a substantial batch of desktop computers for centrally managed university laboratories, sourced through a national desktop-device framework. A credible competitor would need to supply desktop PCs at this scale and meet the operational needs of a managed lab environment, as well as be positioned to participate in the relevant framework call-off route. The award went to a large established technology supplier, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable product supply and the capacity to fulfil a sizeable institutional order. The single recorded bid suggests competition for this particular call-off was limited, but does not establish why or predict the level of competition for a future requirement.
