## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has completed the procurement process titled "The Provision of IT Hardware Purchases," classified under the Hardware industry category. This project is aimed at supporting the Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from an existing framework agreement within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The total potential value of the contract is £180,000 excluding VAT, covering an initial term of two years from 27th February 2026, with an optional 12-month extension available from 27th February 2028.

This tender offers significant opportunities for IT hardware suppliers, particularly SMEs, given the project's scale and the requirement for associated services within the well-regulated framework of public contracts. Despite the contract being awarded to Softcat PLC, future call-offs and similar tenders may arise, presenting ongoing business growth opportunities for companies specialising in delivering hardware solutions to public sector organisations. Companies that are equipped to engage in the selective procurement framework processes and have experience servicing public safety bodies would be well-suited to pursue similar projects.
