Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent procured the supply of Dell laptops, classified as portable computers. This is a goods requirement for supplying end-user computing equipment rather than a service, construction project or consultancy assignment. Delivery is required in the South East of England, including the area covered by postcode ME15 9BZ. The stated purpose is straightforward supply of Dell-branded laptops for the Commissioner’s operational needs. Businesses relevant to this requirement include authorised Dell resellers, computer hardware distributors, IT equipment suppliers and specialists able to source, configure and deliver laptop fleets. The requirement is buyer-specific and concerns physical equipment supply, with no wider managed service or support scope stated.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 12 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 22 June 2026 to Computacenter UK Ltd for £1,171,868.25 including the stated procurement value in GBP. The award is active, with a contract running from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2027. One supplier is identified for the requirement. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information identifies the purchase and route to market, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for Dell laptop fleets from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need reliable access to genuine Dell portable computers, strong manufacturer or distribution relationships, and the purchasing capacity to fulfil a large equipment order. It would also need dependable logistics into the South East of England, accurate order handling and the ability to meet public-sector framework call-off processes. The published suitability assessment indicates that smaller businesses can be relevant, particularly where they can combine competitive hardware supply with proven delivery capability at fleet scale.
