Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured laptops for a council-wide technology refresh. The requirement covered mobile hardware devices, corporate notebooks, enhanced corporate notebooks and additional mobile notebooks with 4G capability, for delivery in Glasgow. The purchase was made through the Scottish Government’s Mobile Client Devices Framework. Further laptop and monitor purchases were included as options. This is a supply opportunity for manufacturers and resellers able to provide business-grade portable computers and related mobile equipment for a local authority’s corporate users.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HP Inc UK Limited. Glasgow City Council used an open procedure through the Scottish Government Mobile Client Devices Framework. One lot covered the laptop requirement; the recorded contract value is £1,000,000. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and is active. The award date and contract period are not recorded. The stated maximum estimate was £1,000,000 excluding VAT, with actual expenditure dependent on operational requirements and potentially lower. The council reserved options to buy further laptops and monitors. One bid was recorded for the lot. The procurement data does not provide a separate scored evaluation basis.

For suppliers considering similar council refresh requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a mixed portfolio of corporate notebooks and mobile client devices, including enhanced models and notebooks with 4G capability. Credible competitors would need to supply suitable business-grade equipment across these specifications and support delivery to Glasgow City Council. The buyer used the Scottish Government’s Mobile Client Devices Framework, so experience and eligibility to supply through that route would be commercially relevant. The scale is a substantial, operationally driven purchase rather than a guaranteed drawdown of the full stated ceiling; suppliers should be able to accommodate variable quantities. The optional scope also shows potential demand for monitors alongside laptops.
