The notice announces a contract to supply laptops and laptop trolleys for the UK government's Capital 2026/27 programme, using the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework (Lot 1).
Requirements
- Supplier must be an approved provider on the CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework – Lot 1
- Must be able to deliver laptops and laptop trolleys that meet the public‑sector specification (e.g., durability, security, warranty)
- Compliance with UK public‑sector procurement rules and data‑security standards
- Ability to provide after‑sales support, warranty and maintenance for the equipment
- Delivery to the locations and times set out in the contract schedule
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply the required number of laptops to the specified technical specifications

- Deliver all equipment to the designated government sites within the agreed timeframe
- Provide warranty, maintenance and technical support for the hardware throughout the contract period
- Submit all required documentation (compliance certificates, delivery notes, warranty registers) to the contracting authority
How to Read This Tender
- 1Check the framework reference (CPC ICT Hardware and Peripherals Equipment Framework – Lot 1) to confirm you are an approved supplier or can partner with one.
- 2Look for the contract value, duration and delivery schedule in the full award documents – these are not in the short notice but are critical for costing.
- 3Identify any mandatory standards (e.g., security, environmental, warranty) and note where evidence must be provided in your bid or post‑award reporting.
- 4Pay attention to the ‘Evaluation Criteria’ section – even for an award notice it may indicate what the buyer valued (price, quality, social value).
- 5Beware of hidden costs such as logistics, training or disposal of old equipment; these often appear in the detailed specifications.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you are not on the framework, consider teaming up with a framework‑approved partner to bid as a subcontractor.
- Highlight any social‑value contributions (e.g., local employment, green procurement) as they can boost your standing in future framework renewals.
- Keep your pricing transparent and include clear warranty terms – SMEs often win by offering straightforward, low‑risk solutions.
