Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured Dell hardware for a capital requirement, centred on desktop computers (CPV 30213300). The requirement covers the supply and delivery of Dell technology products and associated services under the Technology Products & Associated Services framework, Lot 2. The buyer is based at Worthing Hospital in Worthing, West Sussex. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other international locations. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying branded end-user computing equipment rather than construction, consultancy or standalone support services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Dell Corporation Limited. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender response deadline recorded as 1 July 2026 at noon. The award and estimated procurement value were both £490,500. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. The award is active and the contract period covers the supply requirement during that year. The procurement was not divided into separately reported lots within this call-off; it relates to Lot 2 of the underlying framework. Dell Corporation Limited is the named supplier.

This requirement demonstrates NHS demand for substantial volumes of Dell desktop hardware delivered across a wide geographic footprint, with procurement routed through an established technology products framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need direct access to suitable framework routes or a strong framework partner, reliable manufacturer relationships, and the operational capacity to supply branded desktop equipment at institutional scale. It would also need distribution, logistics and account-management capability covering NHS sites and potentially locations across the UK, Crown Dependencies, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other countries. The buyer’s recorded suitability assessment excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the strongest fit is a large technology supplier or consortium able to meet that scale and framework-based route.
