## Summary

Rochdale Borough Council procured laptops and other end-user devices for its ICT refresh programme. The requirement falls within computer equipment and supplies, including personal computers and workstations. Delivery is for the council’s operational needs in the North West of England. The procurement was managed by the council, with STAR Procurement involved in the review process. It relates specifically to hardware supplied through the Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and technology resellers able to provide business laptops and associated end-user computing equipment for a local authority environment. The scope is focused on hardware refresh rather than software development, consultancy or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited direct-award procedure without a prior competition, using the Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. The stated rationale was market conditions and pricing volatility, with extreme urgency cited under the applicable procurement rules. The award was made to XMA Limited on 11 September 2026. The active contract is valued at £1,286,836.50 including the published contract value, and was signed on 11 September 2026. Its stated period runs from 12 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender records one bid. The hardware lot is marked cancelled in the tender record, although an active award and contract are recorded against it.

This procurement demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Rochdale Borough Council for laptop-led end-user device refreshes delivered through a public-sector technology framework. A future competitor would need reliable access to current business laptops, personal computers and workstation hardware, together with the capacity to supply a local authority at significant scale. Credibility would also depend on framework access or an equivalent route capable of supporting a direct award or other compliant public procurement process. Suppliers should be able to manage hardware fulfilment, delivery coordination and the practical requirements of replacing or refreshing an organisation-wide device estate. Established distributors, manufacturers and resellers with public-sector experience and resilient supply arrangements are the closest fit for this requirement.
