## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority bought hard drive data recovery hardware for public-sector law-enforcement use. The requirement covered the supply and delivery of three units of specialist data recovery hardware, classified under CPV 30210000. Delivery was to take place in Scotland. This is a goods procurement, rather than a service or works contract. The buyer is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow, and the requirement was linked to its public order and safety responsibilities. The purchase was made against the HealthTrust Europe Enterprise Level Information Communication Technology framework, so suppliers with relevant framework access and the ability to provide specialist digital-forensics hardware are the closest fit.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure under the HealthTrust Europe Enterprise Level Information Communication Technology framework. There was one lot covering the supply and delivery of three units, with no options. Computacenter was selected for the lot. The resulting contract is active, was signed on 16 June 2026, and is valued at £54,621.96. Three bids were received, including one from an SME. The requirement was evaluated through the open competition for this hardware purchase. The award covered the single lot, and the contract value should be treated as the value of that award rather than combined with any other procurement.

This award shows continuing public-sector demand for specialist hard drive data recovery hardware within Scottish policing and related public-safety operations. A credible competitor would need to supply professional-grade recovery equipment, understand the technical requirements of digital-forensics users and deliver multiple hardware units reliably. Experience supplying ICT equipment to public bodies would help, particularly where procurement is conducted through a managed technology framework. The three bids, including one SME bid, indicate that smaller specialist suppliers can participate alongside larger technology providers. Businesses positioned for this requirement should be able to combine specialist product knowledge with dependable public-sector fulfilment and the contractual discipline needed for framework-based purchasing.
