Computer Contracts and Tenders

See open Computer tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Computer procurement covers laptops, desktops and monitors bought as end user device refreshes, along with tablets, Chromebooks and thin clients. Computers on wheels for hospital wards, refurbished and leased devices, device repair and secure disposal of old laptops also come up.

Computer buying mostly runs as call-offs and direct awards from frameworks such as the Technology Products and Associated Services framework, NHS Shared Business Services' Tech Devices framework and the Crescent Purchasing Consortium's ICT hardware framework, and pipeline notices flag large refreshes. Councils, police forces, NHS trusts, academy trusts, colleges, universities and housing associations are regular buyers.

  • What does "computer tenders" cover?

    It does not cover IT services, software licensing or cloud contracts, which sit on their own IT tenders page, and it excludes the many notices that only mention a computer in passing, such as a lab equipment purchase or an insurance schedule listing "computer" among the risks covered.

  • Who buys computer equipment contracts in the public sector?

    Councils and universities run large laptop and desktop refresh programmes, often for several thousand devices at once. NHS trusts buy hardware for clinical and administrative systems, schools and academy trusts replace classroom and staff devices on a rolling cycle, and central government departments run national hardware-as-a-service frameworks that other bodies call off from directly.

  • What CPV codes cover computer equipment procurement?

    The main one is 30200000 (Computer equipment and supplies). 30213100 (Portable computers) is the next most common, reflecting how much of this category is laptop purchasing specifically.

  • Are computer hardware contracts usually run through frameworks?

    Often, yes. National frameworks such as the Government Commercial Organisation's Technology Products and Associated Services agreement, and NHS-wide device frameworks, account for a large share of awarded computer contracts, with individual buyers calling off laptops or desktops as needed rather than running their own competition each time.

  • Which frameworks are used to buy computers and laptops in the UK public sector?

    Computer hardware is commonly bought through the Government Commercial Agency's Technology Products and Associated Services framework, which covers hardware and end user devices. Central government bodies, councils, police and fire and rescue services call off from it, often after a further competition.

    NHS Shared Business Services runs the Tech Devices framework with the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative, and housing associations and councils use it for laptop purchases by direct award. The Crescent Purchasing Consortium's ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment framework is called off by colleges for laptops and monitors.

  • How do I find Computer contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show Computer work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
