## Summary

The procurement process for the "Apple Equipment Call-Off" contract was managed by DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY, a public body in Leicester, UK, governed by public law and specialising in education. This procurement, categorised under office and computing machinery, involved the delivery of genuine Apple products. It followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a direct award from the NWUPC ITS3028 NW framework. The contract, valued at GBP 650,000, was signed on 22 January 2026. Despite the completion status for one lot due to cancellation, Academia Limited was actively awarded the contract to supply Apple desktop equipment across the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology and computing equipment, particularly those with a capacity to provide manufacturer-specific products such as Apple. Large-scale tech suppliers like Academia Limited, which possess the necessary infrastructure and pre-existing framework agreements, are well-positioned to capitalise on such opportunities. As the procurement was advantageous for companies able to provide direct awards without prior competition, it's a strategic entry point for established businesses to strengthen their relationships with public education institutions.
