Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Provision of Hardware for end users and data centre 25-30' was initiated by Bedford Borough Council, a local government authority located in Bedford, England. The procurement falls under the 'Computer equipment and supplies' category, with a financial value of £250,000. The procurement method employed was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the award stage has been completed. The successful supplier, Dell Corporation Limited, will deliver the goods in the East of England. Key dates include the award date of 1st August 2025 and a contract period extending from 10th August 2025 to 9th August 2030.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in IT hardware solutions. As the contract was awarded as a call-off from a framework agreement, it suggests the importance of being part of such agreements to compete effectively. Although this project was not specifically targeting SMEs or VCSEs, large corporations with experience in handling sizeable IT contracts, like Dell Corporation Limited, would find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their presence in the public sector. Businesses adept at meeting procurement requirements through selective methods should consider strategies to engage with framework agreements, facilitating similar opportunities in the future.
