## Summary

Glasgow Clyde College, serving as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for the "Purchase of Apple Desktop Devices," aimed at contributing to the College's Annual PC refresh plan. Located in Glasgow, UKM82, this procurement falls under the Education category, specifically focusing on the supply of Apple Desktop Devices. The procurement stage reached the Award phase with the contract being signed on 28th May 2025. The procurement method was limited and conducted without prior publication due to technical reasons, ensuring alignment with existing infrastructure requirements.

This tender creates an opportunity for authorised resellers of Apple products, such as XMA, which was identified as the supplier that fulfilled the technical criteria critical for Glasgow Clyde College’s infrastructure needs. As the award was based on a direct contract and utilised a framework agreement, businesses that specialise in supplying Apple equipment and hold the necessary certifications to meet technical requirements stand well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The contract, valued at £93,588.14, not only demonstrates the College's commitment to technological enhancement but also signals a potential avenue for business growth for companies engaged in educational technology solutions.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of Apple Desktop Devices for Glasgow Clyde College.

### Procurement Information

This contract is awarded without prior publication under Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, as only one supplier can meet the technical requirements. Apple desktop devices are only available through authorised resellers, and no equivalent alternatives exist that would integrate with our existing Apple-based infrastructure without significant disruption or cost. Therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons, making the direct award lawful.
