## Summary

New College Durham procured Apple computer equipment and associated supplies for delivery to its college in Durham, England. The requirement falls within the computer equipment and supplies category (CPV 30200000) and is classified as goods. It was sourced through the Apple Solutions lot of the ICT Hardware & Peripherals Equipment Framework established by the Crescent Purchasing consortium. The procurement was run as a mini competition under that framework, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide Apple hardware and related equipment through the framework route. The delivery location is New College Durham, Framwellgate Moor, Durham, postcode DH1 5ES. The buyer is New College Durham, an education provider procuring equipment for its own operations.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. New College Durham used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, conducting a mini competition under the Apple Solutions lot. Responses were due by 19 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to GBM Digital Technologies Limited T/A Sync on 3 September 2026 for £75,902.26 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the published requirement covers the overall supply of Apple equipment rather than separate lots in this procurement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Apple equipment within a further-education setting, at a scale suited to an established specialist supplier and also accessible to SMEs. A credible competitor for the buyer’s next requirement would need strong product knowledge across Apple computer equipment and supplies, reliable sourcing and fulfilment, and the capacity to deliver equipment to a college environment within a short contract window. Experience supplying public-sector or education customers would help demonstrate understanding of institutional purchasing, deployment and service expectations. Suppliers should also be able to compete through the relevant purchasing framework and respond effectively to a mini competition, including clear pricing, compliant product specifications and dependable delivery arrangements.
