Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) in England has completed the "Laptop Refresh 2025," a procurement process aimed at refreshing 2000 laptops for use by its employees. The contract, valued at £1,880,993.50, falls under the industry category of portable computers (CPV code 30213100). This procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 7th February 2025, with the contract awarded on 26th February 2025, and the contract term runs from 21st February 2025 to 31st March 2026. The laptops will be delivered across various locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and other global regions.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for large-scale suppliers with proven capabilities in delivering high volumes of hardware. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, although this contract was awarded to the large supplier, Computacenter (UK) Limited. Engaging in such tenders can enhance a company's portfolio, expand market reach, and solidify relationships with government agencies. Businesses specialising in IT hardware, logistics, and support services are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
