Summary of the contracting process

The WATER SERVICES REGULATION AUTHORITY (Ofwat) is seeking bids for the provision of Surface Pros and ancillary IT hardware, specifically for their PR19 project, which aims to support additional staff. The procurement process, classified under the category of Computer equipment and supplies (CPV ID: 30200000), is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 27 November 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 1 December 2017 and conclude by 31 March 2018. Bidders were required to submit their proposals by 24 November 2017, with deliveries expected to begin as stipulated in the award notice published on 11 April 2018. The procurement follows a selective method, utilising a call-off from the CCS Technology Products 2 framework (RM3733).

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT hardware procurement and supply. With Ofwat's additional procurement of potentially up to 20% more items based on demand, there is significant scope for businesses to grow by providing quality technology solutions.
