Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply of Dell Laptops" was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, focusing on the provision of portable computers within the East of England. This opportunity was conducted through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. With the procurement stage currently at the award phase, the contract, valued at £935,167.12, was awarded on 18th June 2026. The contract spans a year from 18th June 2026 to 17th June 2027. The main procurement category is goods, specifically portable computers, with a suitable focus for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
