The procurement falls within the computer equipment and supplies industry category and is intended to commence in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically within the area designated as UKD3. The process is currently in the planning stage, as indicated by the "plannedProcurementNotice" dated 23 May 2025. The procurement method set to be used is selective, utilizing a pre-Procurement Act commercial tool. The contract, which is subject to internal governance approvals, is planned to cover a period from 1 September 2025 to 1 September 2028, with potential renewals extending it until 2030.
