Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, entitled "Dell Storage BCH," involves the replacement of Dell Storage for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire ICT. This contract was facilitated by The Police and Crime Commissioners for these regions. It falls under the Information Systems and Servers industry category, specifically targeting computer and network servers. The procurement method employed was a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. Although the tender process has reached the award stage, it is worth noting that the contract period spans from 13th October 2025 to 31st December 2025, with delivery taking place in the East of England, UK.

This tender provides valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in IT infrastructure and storage solutions. Firms with expertise in supplying high-performance storage solutions for databases and virtual servers, as well as file and network servers, should find this contract appealing. With an award value of approximately £1.34 million, businesses capable of delivering on such requirements can significantly expand their footprint in the public sector IT space. Unfortunately, this opportunity does not favour small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), aligning better with larger, more established IT service providers such as the awarded supplier, Specialist Computer Centres.
