Single strategic channel partner contract (value-added reseller)
Home Office has handed a £60m infrastructure contract to Specialist Computer Centres PLC to act as a single strategic channel partner, known in the industry as a value-added reseller, over the next five years.
The deal covers all hardware refresh activity required across the organisation, including licencing, support and maintenance of network and IT assets. A value-added reseller buys hardware and software from manufacturers, bundles them with services, and resells them to end customers, typically handling configuration, integration and ongoing support.
Specialist Computer Centres PLC will operate under an order-form arrangement, meaning Home Office can call off goods and services against the contract as needs arise during the five-year term. The contract was awarded on 21 June 2026 and published on 7 July 2026.
