Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire bought Dell laptops, classified as portable computers, for delivery in Kempston and across the East of England. This is a goods supply requirement rather than an installation, support or construction contract. The requirement is focused on supplying Dell-branded laptop computers to a police and crime commissioner, so it is most relevant to computer manufacturers, authorised Dell resellers, IT distributors and public-sector technology suppliers with the ability to fulfil equipment orders. The named buying organisation is based in Kempston, Bedford, and the delivery location is within the East of England. The procurement concerns the supply of the equipment itself, with no wider service scope described.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 12 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 18 June 2026 to Specialist Computer Centres. The awarded contract value is £935,167.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 18 June 2026 to 17 June 2027. The tender is complete and the award is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the Dell laptop supply. The process is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement is categorised as goods. No lots are identified, so the award covers the procurement as a single requirement.

This award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand from Bedfordshire’s policing and crime commissioning body for Dell laptop equipment supplied through a framework route. Suppliers that would be credible when a comparable requirement returns would need strong access to Dell products, authorised reseller or distribution capability, reliable stock and purchasing arrangements, and the capacity to fulfil a sizeable equipment order across the East of England. Experience in public-sector supply chains and framework call-offs would help, as would robust logistics, asset tracking, delivery coordination and invoicing processes. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller technology resellers and specialist distributors that can demonstrate dependable fulfilment at this scale.
