## Summary

Halton Housing Trust, a not-for-profit housing association managing over 6,700 homes in Cheshire, has established an IT Hardware Supply Framework aimed at sourcing suppliers for IT hardware and related services. This open tender was published on 9 January 2017, with the tender period concluding on 6 February 2017. The awarded contracts have a total estimated value of £180,000, and the framework is set to operate for four years, commencing on 8 April 2017 and concluding on 7 April 2021. Deliveries will primarily be directed to HHT's offices in Widnes and Runcorn but may also extend to other locations across the UK as needed.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in IT hardware and related services such as installation, configuration, and repairs. Organisations that can offer a diverse range of up-to-date technology products, particularly those compliant with various operating systems, will be well-positioned to compete. This framework is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that demonstrate agility and innovation in the supply of computer equipment, mobile devices, and auxiliary IT services, enabling them to secure ongoing business with Halton Housing Trust and potentially other local authorities within the UK.

## Notice

Halton Housing Trust (HHT) sought bids to establish a framework of suppliers to supply IT hardware to HHT. Purchases made under the framework will mainly be for end user IT hardware and peripheral IT items which are expected to include, but not be limited to; tablets, laptops, mobile/smart phones, desktop computers, monitors, projectors, TVs, thin clients, mice, cables and keyboards. From time to time, HHT may also purchase any other IT hardware items under the framework that may be needed to meet the needs of the organisation (e.g. interactive audio visual equipment). Whilst the framework will primarily be used for the purchase and delivery of IT hardware, auxiliary services associated with the provision of IT hardware may also be purchased under the framework. These services may include, but not be limited to; hardware installation, configuration, repairs and recycling. From time to time, HHT may also purchase operating system software and licenses from successful suppliers under the framework. Purchases are expected to mainly be off a product catalogue, the first version of which bidders priced for as part of the tender. Products not contained within this catalogue may also be purchased under this framework. The outcome of the tender was a 4 year framework agreement, awarded to 7 suppliers. Of the successful bidders, 5 are SMEs and none are VCSEs. Additional information: The estimated value over the total framework duration contained in this notice is an estimate only. This is for information only, and no guarantees are given, nor are implied as to the value or quantity of business that will be placed with successful bidders. HHT accepts no liability for any inaccuracies in the estimates provided. HHT reserves the right to vary the volume of orders during the life of the framework. Award of a position on this framework to any supplier does not guarantee any contracts/orders will be awarded to that supplier. The framework will be available to the following, such that each of the following will be entitled to purchase goods/services from the successful bidders at the discretion of Halton Housing Trust:- - Halton Housing Trust and all subsidiary undertakings of Halton Housing Trust both current and future - All parts of any current or future group structure of which Halton Housing Trust is, or may become, a part - Any entities which fall into either of the following categories and which are permitted by Halton Housing Trust to make particular purchases under the framework from time to time: (a) any joint venture entities (whether companies, limited liability partnerships or otherwise) in which Halton Housing Trust or any subsidiary undertakings of Halton Housing Trust participates from time to time (whether as a shareholder, member or otherwise), (b) other contracting authorities including Registered Providers of Social Housing within England and Wales (as defined by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008), Registered Social Landlords within Scotland (as defined by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010) and local authorities across the UK.
