Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Tech Refresh KEP Stage 2," was undertaken by Kent Police, focusing on the supply of laptops for the Kent and Essex Police departments. This procurement pertains to the hardware industry category and falls within the East of England, United Kingdom, with delivery specified to Ipswich, postal code IP5 3QS. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating that it was part of a broader procurement strategy. The tender process concluded with the contract award to COMPUTACENTER PLC, a large-scale supplier, on 27th November 2025, with a contract value of approximately £1,387,691.98. The contract period was stipulated from 1st September 2025 to 31st December 2025, after the tender period ended on 18th August 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses dealing in hardware supply, particularly those able to engage in selective tender processes and call-offs from framework agreements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could find prospects here, as the procurement explicitly mentions suitability for such entities. Companies with capabilities to deliver large-scale hardware solutions to public sector clients like police departments would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Participation can boost business visibility and pave the way for future contracts in the public sector hardware market.
