## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council bought 455 Microsoft laptops to maintain its stock of council laptops. This is a goods procurement for portable computers (CPV 30213100), with delivery in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The requirement covers the hardware needed to replenish or sustain the Council’s existing laptop estate, rather than a broader managed IT or support service. The procurement was associated with a software lot, although the recorded award relates to the laptop requirement and names a hardware supplier. Businesses relevant to this requirement include laptop manufacturers, authorised technology resellers, public-sector IT hardware suppliers and businesses able to provide standardised portable computers at council-wide scale. The buyer is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, a local authority in England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The Council used the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework Agreement, Lot 2: Hardware, under a compliant direct award route. One bid was recorded. XMA Limited was selected as supplier, with the award shown as active. The contract value is £463,377 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 10 March 2026. The procurement was evaluated on price. The recorded software lot is marked cancelled, while the award is linked to that lot and remains active in the published outcome. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement demonstrates established demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for a substantial, standardised laptop refresh or replenishment. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to source and supply Microsoft-compatible portable computers reliably, manage delivery across the Council’s area and support consistent equipment at the scale of a council-wide laptop stock. Experience supplying public-sector hardware would be relevant, particularly through an established framework route and direct-award processes. The outcome also shows that the buyer accepted a single-supplier solution and used price as the evaluation basis. Businesses should therefore be able to offer competitive hardware pricing, dependable fulfilment and clear compliance with framework requirements for future demand of this type.
