Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council recently completed a procurement process for two Dell PowerEdge R740XD servers, valued at £32,064.30, aimed at enhancing ICT capacity in response to increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract was officially awarded on 23rd March 2020, with the contract period spanning from 23rd March to 25th March 2020. This procurement was executed through a direct award method due to the urgent nature of the need arising from the imminent lockdown and the necessity for employees to work remotely to maintain critical services. The servers are classified under the CPV code for network servers and were intended for delivery within England, UK.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for technology firms, particularly those specialising in IT hardware, network solutions, and emergency supply chains, to explore future contracts with local authorities and government entities.
