## Summary

The University of Plymouth, located at Drakes Circus, Plymouth, has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of student loan iPads and accessories. This procurement falls under the category of computer equipment and supplies and was conducted using a direct procurement method "below threshold" without competition. The process reached the contract award stage on 16th September 2025, by which time the contract had already been active from 1st September 2025. The contract is set to run until 31st August 2026, with a total value of £66,091 excluding VAT. The iPads and accessories will be distributed across various regions in the United Kingdom, emphasising a widespread delivery scope.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises, particularly those specialising in computer equipment and supplies. The direct procurement method indicates that businesses with existing relationships or experience in similar projects with sub-central government authorities might find this type of tender advantageous. With Academia Limited being the supplier awarded in this case, other similar-sized firms might be well-positioned to engage in future procurement processes with universities or educational institutions looking to equip students with modern technological resources. The consistency in demand for such educational tools underscores a steady potential market for businesses in the IT equipment supply sector.
