Summary of the contracting process

CPS is procuring portable computers and associated end user device supporting services. The requirement covers the supply of devices for use by CPS, with delivery across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. It is classified as a goods procurement and is relevant to businesses supplying laptops or other portable computing equipment, together with services that support the deployment, management or use of end user devices. The buyer is CPS, based at 102 Petty France, London. The broad geographical coverage indicates that suppliers may need to support equipment delivery and service requirements across multiple territories, rather than serving a single local site.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 October 2024 at 9:00am, and the award date was 11 March 2025. Bechtle Limited was selected as the supplier. The awarded value is £15,000,000 including VAT, covering the initial contract and optional extensions. The published tender value was £7,583,415. The contract runs from 1 March 2025 to 29 February 2028. The tender description provides for an initial three-year term and two optional 12-month extensions; the extensions had not been exercised at the time of the award notice.

For suppliers assessing future demand from CPS, this award demonstrates a sizeable, geographically broad requirement for portable computers and supporting end user device services delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need established capability in supplying portable computing equipment at scale, coordinating delivery across the United Kingdom and overseas territories, and providing the supporting services needed throughout the device lifecycle. The successful supplier is a large organisation, indicating that operational capacity, fulfilment infrastructure and the ability to manage a substantial public-sector account are relevant benchmarks. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialists may be well placed where they can demonstrate the required supply, service and delivery capability.
