## Summary

Newcastle University has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of Tablet PCs intended for use by first-year students starting in September 2018. The procurement fell under the goods category, specifically portable computers, with a total contract value of £285,000. The tender period concluded on 30th May 2018, while the contract commenced on 16th July 2018 and is set to last until 16th August 2018. This tender was available exclusively to suppliers on Lot 1 (Hardware) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products 2 Framework.

This contracting opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in technology and educational hardware, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that were registered under the stipulated framework. Companies capable of providing high-quality portable computing devices that enhance educational experiences would be well-positioned to compete. Given the focus on integrating technology into the academic environment, suppliers who can meet the specific requirements of modern educational institutions may find considerable growth opportunities in similar future tenders.

Full details can be found in the Invitation to Tender documentation Please note that this opportunity is only being made available to those suppliers appointed to Lot 1 (Hardware) of the existing Crown Commercial Service Technology Products 2 Framework (RM3733)
