Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured desktop client devices for its council-wide refresh programme. The supply includes desktop hardware, enhanced corporate desktops and screen monitors, with delivery in Glasgow. The devices were bought through the Scottish Government Mobile Client Devices Framework. This is a hardware supply requirement for suppliers able to provide business desktop equipment and monitors, rather than a general IT services contract. The council’s stated purpose is to refresh its desktop estate; the requirement may also include further laptop purchases under an option. The award therefore reflects demand for a mix of standard and enhanced corporate desktop equipment for council operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Glasgow City Council used an open procedure through the Scottish Government Mobile Client Devices Framework. HP Inc UK Limited was selected for the single lot; the contract value is £1.4 million. The contract was signed on 23 March 2026. The lot’s estimated maximum value was also stated as £1.4 million excluding VAT, with actual expenditure dependent on operational requirements and potentially lower. The procurement covers desktop hardware and monitors, with an option to purchase further laptops if required. The award records one bid, submitted electronically. The published procurement data does not state an award date or contract start and end dates.

For suppliers tracking Glasgow City Council’s future desktop refresh requirements, this award demonstrates demand for desktop computers, enhanced corporate desktop configurations and screen monitors, with possible additional laptop purchases. A credible competitor would need to supply and deliver a broad range of business-grade client devices and support a council-scale refresh, with the ability to meet changing operational demand. The route used was the Scottish Government Mobile Client Devices Framework, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need to be positioned to supply through that framework. HP Inc UK Limited won after one bid was recorded, indicating that framework access and the ability to meet the defined hardware requirement were central to competing for this purchase.
