Welcome to the National Desktop and Notebook Agreement (NDNA) Website for Lot 2, Notebook PCs and Lot 3, One-Stop Shop (Desktops and Notebooks)
The NDNA commenced on the 1st August 2009 having been formed from the merger of the outgoing IRDA1 and NNA2. The agreement, which is supported and managed by UCISA3, is split into three Lots, Desktops (Lot 1), Notebooks (Lot 2) and One-Stop Shop (Lot 3).
The framework agreement was let on a 3 (+1) year basis and is open nationally to all Consortia-affiliated Universities and Colleges of Higher and Further Education (including staff and students), together with the Research Council, in all six of the regional Consortia: APUC, LUPC, SUPC, HEPCW, NEUPC and the NWUPC.
