The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to XMA LIMITED on 22 May 2025, with a total contract value of £65,570.51.

This tender presents notable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in data-processing hardware. Although the procurement was fulfilled by XMA LIMITED, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find similar opportunities attractive, given the council's apparent consideration for SMEs without extending preference to voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Suppliers with robust experience working within framework agreements would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in such public contracts could help businesses expand their portfolios within the UK public sector market.
