04IT hardware contracts: common questions

How many IT hardware tenders are live in London?

6 right now, from 6 public buyers, with 1 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.

What do buyers ask for in IT hardware contracts?

Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £5m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.

Can a small business win IT hardware contracts?

Often, yes. 3 of the 6 live tenders in London are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.

05Expert notes: IT, digital & cyber

Public sector IT buyers commonly require Cyber Essentials (often Plus) and sometimes ISO 27001. Much spend goes through frameworks such as G-Cloud and Digital Outcomes, so being listed can matter more than chasing single tenders.
