## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Department for Education, involved a tender for the supply of end user devices, specifically a mix of tablets, laptops, and peripherals, totalling £2,416,922.75. The procurement was classified under the goods category, with a focus on office and computing machinery, and the contract was awarded on 11th February 2021. The delivery regions included North East, North West, West Midlands, and London. The overall procurement method followed was selective, implemented through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract running from 11th February 2021 to 11th February 2022.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in supplying technological devices and related services. Companies that can provide innovative solutions in hardware provision and are equipped to handle large supply orders would be well-positioned to compete. The awarded contract to XMA Limited serves as a precedent for contractors looking to engage with educational departments, highlighting the potential for future collaborations within the public sector education industry.
