## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a selective procurement process for the purchase of laptops and Pelicases, categorized under data-processing machines (hardware). This procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, with Softcat PLC securing the contract. The tender process concluded on 9th July 2025, with the award becoming active from 9th July 2025, and the contract period set from 10th July 2025 to 9th July 2026. The Ministry's principal office located in Corsham, England, will oversee the delivery at the specified postal code, BS34 8JH.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses specializing in IT hardware supply, particularly those already part of framework agreements, to collaborate with significant government entities like the Ministry of Defence. While the awarded contract is with a large company, Softcat PLC, the tender process's suitability criteria noted openness to SMEs, highlighting potential avenues for smaller companies prepared to integrate and engage in similar future procurement opportunities. As the industry focuses on IT solutions, businesses that emphasize innovation, efficiency, and dependability in the supply chain may find fertile ground for growth and expansion in government contracting sectors.
