## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council bought 470 Microsoft laptops to maintain its stock of laptops. This is a goods procurement for portable computers and ICT hardware, delivered for the Council’s operations in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The requirement covers the supply of standard laptop equipment rather than installation, software development or wider managed IT services. The named buyer is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, a local authority. The procurement was arranged through the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, Hardware lot, indicating a requirement for commercially supplied business laptops suitable for maintaining an established public-sector device estate.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to XMA Limited. The contract value is £498,021.40. The contract was signed on 22 May 2026. The Council used a limited procedure with a direct award under the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework Agreement, Hardware lot, without a separate call for competition. The award basis was price. One bid was recorded. The tender covered one ICT hardware lot, whose status is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement was evaluated as falling outside the relevant directive’s scope.

This procurement shows established demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for a substantial volume of business laptops to replenish and maintain its device stock. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need reliable access to Microsoft laptop products, the purchasing and logistics capacity to supply hundreds of devices, and experience supporting public-sector or similarly controlled hardware estates. Competitive pricing was decisive, so credible providers would need efficient supply chains and the ability to offer strong volume pricing while meeting the Council’s equipment requirements. Experience supplying through compliant public-sector frameworks, particularly technology hardware frameworks that allow direct awards, would also be commercially relevant. The scale suits a sizeable IT hardware reseller or distributor with dependable fulfilment capacity.
