The procurement is classified under goods with a CPV code of 30000000. This selective restricted procedure is conducted according to CELEX legal basis 32014L0024 and is active under the award stage with various contracts signed as of 20 January 2026. The framework agreement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Interested suppliers should take note of the compliance with grant funding agreements, performance terms as stated in the procurement documentation, and the reviewed details following Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender offers multiple lots including ICT equipment, cabling services, software licensing, audio-visual services, and cybersecurity services, across the UK. The ICT Framework Agreement facilitates business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in office and computing machinery, network cabling, software packages, audio-visual equipment, and cybersecurity services. It is particularly suitable for large-scale consortia, with active participation from well-established companies such as CCS Media Limited, Softcat PLC, and Academia Limited. The procurement process encourages competition through electronic submission methods, allowing suppliers to bid for multiple lots, fostering wider market engagement. Businesses in technology, communications, and security sectors will find this framework conducive to expanding their market presence and showcasing innovation, especially given the emphasis on quality (60%) and price (40%). This creates an advantageous environment for suppliers looking to establish or expand their operations within the UK procurement landscape. ## Notice Information, Communication & Technology Framework ### Lot Information ICT Equipment (Hardware & Software) ICT Equipment (Hardware & Software) Renewal: 2years with an option to extend for up to a further 2years Cabling Services Cabling Services Renewal: 2years with the option to extend for up to a further 2years Software Licensing Software Licensing Renewal: 2years with the option to extend up to a further 2years Audio Visual & Associated Services (Supply, Installation & Support) Audio Visual & Associated Services (Supply, Installation & Support) Renewal: 2years with the option to extend up to a further 2years Cybersecurity Services Cybersecurity Services Renewal: 2years with the option to extend for up to a further 2years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012788-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | 2-4years depending on framework extension | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | £16,200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £15,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY CATAPULT | | Additional buyers | CELL AND GENE THERAPY CATAPULT; COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR APPLICATIONS CATAPULT; CONNECTED PLACES CATAPULT; DIGITAL CATAPULT; ENERGY SYSTEMS CATAPULT; HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURING CATAPULT; MEDICINES DISCOVERY CATAPULT; SATELLITE APPLICATIONS CATAPULT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1RD | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 18 | | Supplier names | 3B DATA SECURITY; ACADEMIA; AMS SYSTEMS 2012; BECHTLE; BOXXE; BYTES SOFTWARE SERVICES; CCS MEDIA; CLARANET; COMVISTA NETWORKS; GLIDE STUDENT AND RESIDENTIAL; HARP VISUAL; ITM COMMUNICATIONS; LOGICALIS; NEWLAND MEDIA; OCF; OCS TECHNICAL SERVICES LIMITED / FES SUPPORT SERVICES; PHOENIX SOFTWARE; SOFTCAT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30000000 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32321200 - Audio-visual equipment - 32421000 - Network cabling - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72212130 - Aviation ground support and test software development services ## Release History - 12 Feb 2026 at 11:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012788-2026 - 12 Feb 2026 at 11:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012785-2026 - 10 Oct 2024 at 14:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032650-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://catapult.org.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://www.ore.catapult.org.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA29950 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
