Summary of the contracting process

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust bought a service to collect its decommissioned IT devices and other IT equipment. The requirement concerns the collection of redundant technology rather than the supply of new IT equipment. The buyer is based in Crawley, and the stated delivery location is South East England. This is a service requirement associated with IT asset disposal and collection. The procurement description identifies collection as the work, without detailing particular device types, quantities, handling processes or onward treatment. Suppliers whose business includes collecting decommissioned IT equipment for public-sector organisations would recognise the core requirement; firms focused only on supplying hardware or general IT support would not.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Dell Corporation Limited. The award was made on 30 August 2026, with a stated award value of £20,000. The estimated procurement value was between £20,000 and £22,000. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027, for 12 months. The Trust used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below threshold. Quotations were due by 1 July 2026. The requirement was treated as one service procurement; no separate lots are described. The published suitability information indicates that the opportunity was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The data does not state specific evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing quotations cannot be described further.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust purchases collection of decommissioned IT devices and equipment as a defined service, rather than bundling it with new hardware supply. A competitor seeking to be credible when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate practical capacity to collect redundant IT equipment from the Trust’s operating area and deliver the collection service reliably for a large public-sector organisation. The successful supplier was Dell Corporation Limited, a large company, and the Trust used competitive quotation below threshold. This provides a clear indication of the supplier profile and purchasing route that met this requirement, but the procurement does not describe technical standards, security controls, disposal accreditation or volumes that a future supplier could rely on.
