## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured IT hardware upgrade services for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The requirement concerned upgrading IT hardware and was handled under a framework for equipment reuse, recycling and disposal services. The published delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement focused on computer hardware upgrades, rather than a purchase of general-purpose IT equipment alone. The buyer is UK Shared Business Services Limited, which manages the procurement for UKRI.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Stone Technologies Limited on 11 September 2026. It was a direct award through the NWUPC framework for equipment reuse, recycling and disposal services, rather than a new open competition. The award value was £77,374. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 16 September 2027. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement data does not set out separate lots or an evaluation scoring basis; the published description identifies the hardware upgrade requirement and the framework route used to place the contract.

This award shows demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited, on behalf of UKRI, for IT hardware upgrade work procured through a specialist framework covering equipment reuse, recycling and disposal. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver hardware upgrades and operate within the relevant framework route, with capability spanning equipment reuse and responsible recycling or disposal where required. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, but the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms may be relevant where they can demonstrate the technical capacity and framework access to deliver the service. The procurement indicates a defined, single-year requirement rather than a broad IT support or general equipment supply contract.

## Notice
