Summary of the contracting process

The Epping Forest District Council has completed a procurement process for the appointment of a supplier to provide new laptops for council staff. This procurement, categorised under "Portable computers" within the services industry, was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Bechtle Limited, a large-scale organisation, on 10th March 2025, with the active status of the award starting on 1st April 2025 and running until 28th March 2026. The total value of the contract is £213,078. The laptops are to be delivered to Epping, England, postcode CM16 4BZ, with the tender period having concluded on 30th January 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses within the IT and tech supply industry, especially those involved in the provision of portable computing devices and related services. While the contract has been awarded to a large firm, small and medium enterprises could find opportunities in similar future tenders or sub-contracting arrangements with larger suppliers like Bechtle Limited. Companies interested in participating in future public sector procurement would benefit from monitoring such framework agreements and ensuring readiness to meet public sector requirements. With the possibility of a two-year contract extension on an annual basis, ongoing collaboration with the public sector can offer stable and predictable growth for businesses adept at delivering high-quality tech solutions.
