## Summary

City of Sunderland College is currently in the tender stage for the provision of an Apple Managed Service.

The procurement falls under the services category and is conducted through an open competition method below the threshold. Interested parties must submit their responses electronically via the EPNE e-tendering system by the closing date on 23 March 2026, with the contract slated to commence on 28 April 2026 at the college's Bede Campus in Sunderland. This procurement particularly targets license management software packages and related computer management services, scheduled under CPV codes 48218000, 72510000, and 72212218.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in Apple device management and related software services. Companies with expertise in license management software development and comprehensive computer-related management services are well-suited to compete. Furthermore, the tender allows for two annual extensions following the initial three-year contract period, opening long-term collaboration prospects with the college. The procurement process prioritises cost, quality, and added and social value, signalling opportunities for innovative solutions that provide additional benefits beyond the basic service provision. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the college underscores suitability for such organisations.
