Common questions
Office and computing equipment procurement, in short
Who buys office and computing equipment in the UK public sector?
800 public sector organisations have awarded office and computing equipment contracts since 2021. The most active are UK Shared Business Services Ltd (122 contracts), Ministry of Defence (91 contracts), United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust DO NOT USE (73 contracts).
How much is a typical office and computing equipment contract worth?
The median is £108k, across the 2,980 contracts of 3,072 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do office and computing equipment contracts come up for renewal?
585 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new office and computing equipment tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.
