## Summary

Cumberland Council procured the supply of 124 HP Pro 4 laptops for its own use. This is a goods requirement for portable computers (CPV 30213100), with delivery in England. The requirement concerns a single type of end-user computing equipment rather than installation, support or wider IT services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are laptop distributors, authorised hardware resellers and technology suppliers able to source and deliver the specified HP model in the required quantity. The council is based at the Parkhouse Building, Kingmoor Business Park, Carlisle, and is the purchasing organisation for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 5pm. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to Desk Top Publishing Micro Systems Limited (DTP) on 12 August 2026. The awarded value was £99,713 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 11 September 2026. The original estimated procurement value was also £99,713. The evaluation basis is not detailed beyond the use of an open procedure. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined council requirement for a sizeable, standardised laptop supply rather than bespoke technology development. A credible competitor for comparable work would need reliable access to HP Pro 4 laptops, strong distributor or manufacturer supply-chain relationships, and the operational capacity to source, quality-check and deliver 124 units to an English public-sector buyer within a short contract period. Experience supplying councils or other public bodies would help demonstrate understanding of formal tendering, product compliance, ordering and delivery controls. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that scale alone did not require a large corporate structure, although the procurement was not formally marked as SME-suitable.
