Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen procured desktop computers for its 2026–27 classroom refresh programme. The requirement covers desktop client devices for use in university classrooms, with delivery in Aberdeen. It is a goods procurement for standard desktop hardware, classified under CPV 30213300. The purchase was made as a call-off from the SP-22-019 framework, supporting the university’s education operations. The University of Aberdeen is the buying organisation and is based at King’s College in Aberdeen. The requirement was arranged as a single lot covering the desktop equipment needed for the classroom refresh. This is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and technology suppliers providing desktop computers for education or other institutional environments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the SP-22-019 framework. One electronic bid was recorded for the single lot, and the contract was awarded to HP Inc UK Limited. The award was made on 4 September 2026 for £209,580.30. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and is recorded as active. The award covered desktops for the classroom refresh requirement. The available outcome data identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or contract end date. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and relates to an earlier process for the framework call-off.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for desktop computers in a university classroom environment, delivered through a public-sector framework route. Competitors seeking similar work with the University of Aberdeen would need a dependable supply of business-class desktop hardware, the ability to support a coordinated classroom refresh, and capacity to fulfil an institutional-scale order. Credibility would also depend on access to the relevant framework or an equivalent approved purchasing route, together with strong public-sector contract administration and electronic tendering capability. Suppliers should be able to provide consistent equipment specifications, reliable delivery to Aberdeen, warranty and support arrangements, and evidence of successful delivery to education or other large organisations. The single recorded bid indicates that framework access was central to this purchase.
