Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex procured a supply of Dell laptops for use in Essex and the wider East of England. The requirement covers portable computers and is classified under CPV 30213100. This is a goods contract rather than a service or works opportunity. Delivery information identifies CM8 3HB and the East of England in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex. The requirement is for the provision of branded business laptops, making it relevant to manufacturers, authorised resellers, public-sector technology suppliers and distributors able to fulfil equipment orders for a policing and public-safety organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 12 June 2026 at 5pm. Computacenter UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 22 June 2026 for £498,488.25 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2027. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the full laptop supply requirement described, with no separate lots identified. The published outcome records an active award to one supplier, and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand from the Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for a substantial volume of branded business laptops delivered through a public-sector framework route. A credible future competitor would need access to Dell equipment, reliable distribution and fulfilment capacity, and the ability to manage delivery to the identified East of England location. Experience supplying public-sector or similarly controlled organisations would help demonstrate dependable order handling, asset logistics and compliance with framework call-off requirements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist reseller or technology distributor with the right framework access and operational capacity could be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
