I don't know the answer as such, but suggest you search askubuntu.com for how to create a 'local' or 'private' repository - your desktop clients would then connect to the repository to fetch their updates.

I think what you want to do is to use apt-mirror to create a local mirror of another repository, which can then be used by other machines on your network.

Outdated but probably still useful instructions to do this can be found here.

Edit: Slightly more up-to-date tutorial is found here

You could use Ubuntu Server with landscape, which is a control panel to deploy updates and install packages for remote Ubuntu systems.
