## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council recently completed a tender process for a hardware upgrade, specifically focusing on laptops under the One Council Access and Device Update (OCADU) initiative. The procurement, classified under the CPV code 30200000 for computer equipment and supplies, used a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure above threshold. The project utilised pricing obtained via the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Aggregation/E-Auction Event and falls under the CCS Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework Agreement (RM6098). The tender period ended on 3rd December 2024, with the contract running from 18th December 2024 to 18th December 2025. The delivery location is specified by the postal code NN16 in Kettering, England. The project is aimed at the procurement of goods with a preference for SMEs, although it is not suitable for VCSEs.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers within the IT hardware sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) can benefit from competing for contracts that have clear, defined scopes, such as the provision of laptop hardware. Given the procurement method and selective process employed, businesses experienced in participating in restricted procedures and familiar with the CCS Technology Products frameworks will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the awarded contract, amounting to GBP 1,251,386.95, has been secured by Probrand Limited, indicating that the criteria for supplier selection involve both competitive pricing and adherence to public sector procurement standards. This creates a lucrative opportunity for IT equipment suppliers looking to expand their reach within the public sector.
