## Summary

Nelson and Colne College procured a framework agreement for computer supplies, covering ICT hardware and peripheral equipment together with related services. The arrangement is intended to support the purchasing needs of CPC members and the wider public sector, including education-sector organisations and future CPC members. The buyer is Nelson and Colne College in Nelson, England. Delivery may cover the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations, with a stated delivery address in Nelson. The opportunity was open to both manufacturers and resellers, allowing suppliers to offer equipment and associated support through collaborative and innovative partnerships with CPC members and other eligible public bodies. It replaced an earlier Multiquote arrangement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The estimated procurement value was £110,000. Albion was awarded the contract for £132,225 on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. It forms a multi-supplier framework agreement, although this published outcome identifies Albion as the awarded supplier. The requirement was classified as goods and computer supplies. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 1pm. The arrangement was stated to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was intended to provide access for CPC members and wider eligible public-sector organisations. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete.

For a supplier assessing future requirements from Nelson and Colne College, CPC members or related public-sector education bodies, this award demonstrates demand for a broad ICT hardware and peripherals supply capability supported by related services. Credible competitors would need to operate either as manufacturers or resellers, with reliable access to computer equipment, peripherals, fulfilment and customer support. The framework model favours suppliers able to serve multiple public-sector organisations and manage repeat purchasing across varied locations, rather than only one local delivery point. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist firms may be able to compete where they can demonstrate dependable supply, responsive service and the capacity to work collaboratively with CPC members. A strong proposition would also include practical innovation that delivers additional benefits to education and wider public-sector users.
