Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has concluded a procurement process for a hardware upgrade, specifically in the category of servers. The procurement, titled "Hardware Upgrade," involved a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Dell Corporation Ltd, and the contract period ran from 2nd August 2024 to 23rd August 2024. The project was finalised with an overall value of £64,470.95. Dstl is located in Salisbury, England, and the delivery address for the servers is in London (postal code EC3A 5AF).

This procurement provides substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in server hardware and related IT services. However, this particular tender may be less accessible for smaller enterprises, given its selective procurement method and the involvement of a large-scale supplier like Dell Corporation Ltd. Firms that can participate in such frameworks and possess the capacity to deliver high-value, time-sensitive IT infrastructure projects would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging with this type of contract can enhance business portfolios, establish relationships with high-profile governmental clients, and secure opportunities within the defence sector.
