## Summary

The Ministry of Defence bought IT hardware for AOS 147, classed as goods, for delivery in the South West of England. The procurement record names the Ministry as the buyer and identifies no more specific description of the hardware or its intended use. The requirement is therefore most relevant to suppliers able to provide IT equipment to a government customer and deliver it in the South West.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat PLC. The award date was 30 July 2026, and the contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. The awarded value is £215,182.24. The Ministry used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026. The award was for the IT hardware requirement as a single procurement; the published information does not identify separate lots or describe the evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Defence for IT hardware through a framework call-off, at a scale suited to an established equipment supplier; the opportunity was also marked suitable for SMEs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to source and supply the required hardware and manage delivery to the South West. Softcat PLC was selected for this contract. The procurement provides a direct example of the buyer, purchasing route and delivery geography relevant to suppliers seeking to compete for this same hardware requirement when it next comes to market.
