## Summary

Truro & Penwith Academy Trust procured iPad devices and accessories for its Advantage Programme. This is an education-focused supply of tablet computers and associated equipment, rather than a general IT services contract. The Trust is based in Threemilestone, Truro, and delivery was specified for Cornwall. The equipment supports the Trust’s programme, with the procurement grouping the devices and accessories together as a single requirement. The contract was awarded to Academia Limited, a large supplier, for the supply of iPads and associated items. This requirement is relevant to technology resellers and education-sector suppliers able to provide Apple devices and accessories to a multi-academy trust and support an education deployment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Academia Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Its value is £943,365. The process used a further competition through the Crescent Purchasing Consortium’s ICT Hardware & Peripherals Equipment Framework, Apple Solutions lot, rather than an open tender. Three bids were recorded. Price carried 70% of the evaluation; quality criteria covered educational impact and delivery model, deployment and support, sustainability, reducing digital inequality, and added value and improvement. The tender included two optional 12-month extensions at the Trust’s discretion. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and signed contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers looking to compete for similar education technology requirements from Truro & Penwith Academy Trust, this award indicates demand for supplying Apple tablets and accessories through a purchasing framework and a further competition. A credible competitor would need access to Apple devices and ancillaries, a dependable delivery and deployment model, and the capacity to support continuity of learning after rollout. The evaluation also favoured suppliers able to show educational impact, practical support, sustainability and whole-life environmental performance, and work that helps reduce digital inequality. Evidence of added value and continuous improvement would matter alongside competitive pricing. The awarded supplier was a large business, and the recorded competition attracted three bids, indicating a substantial supply opportunity with measurable price and quality expectations for education-sector suppliers.
