The procurement, titled "GMCA 1111 Dell Hardware," falls under the industry category of office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies. This direct award contract was facilitated through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Systems framework, allowing the GMCA to benefit from a significant discount.

The total contract value is GBP 175,000, and it was publicly awarded on 31st May 2024.

This procurement process presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in office equipment and computing systems, particularly those offering products compatible with the specified requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also encouraged to consider such tenders, as the GMCA actively supports SME participation. Engaging in contracts of this scale can significantly boost business visibility and credibility, paving the way for future contracts with public authorities. Companies with a specific focus on high-quality, cost-effective IT solutions would find this procurement especially beneficial for growth and partnership opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GMCA 1111 Dell Hardware

Notice Description

Dell Supply a standardized laptop and desktop product to GMFRS and the Combined Authority, the department requires continuity of supply that is compatible with all other products, the existing contract has expired and the intention is to direct award the contract to Dell Technologies under the NHS Shared Business Servies Digital Workplace Systems framework. As this will be a 4 year call off the threshold meets the requirement for a D1 and subsequent D3 report. In the interim we require a short-term exemption to allow for the purchase of equipment for new starters and the replacement of broken equipment. GMCA receives a significant discount of 62% on products via the NHS SBS framework that can not be achieved through other frameworks. This is a request for a retrospective Exemption, the existing contract arrangements expired in April 2024, new orders are required in the interim whilst we procure a longer term solution.
