Summary of the contracting process

East Cambridgeshire District Council is seeking to refresh its laptop hardware, as outlined in the tender titled "Laptop Hardware Refresh 25/26". This procurement process is focused on the 'goods' category within the ICT industry, specifically involving portable computers. The contract aims to replace 50 Dell Latitude laptops and includes three years of hardware support. The process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions expected by 4th July 2025 at 16:00. The procurement method is open, allowing for below-threshold competition, and the estimated contract value is GBP 45,000. Delivery is expected to occur within the United Kingdom, commencing on 31st July 2025 and concluding by 30th July 2028.

This tender offers a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in ICT hardware to engage with a public authority. Companies with expertise in supplying and supporting Dell products, particularly portable computers, will find themselves well-suited to compete. Given the price is the sole criterion for evaluation, businesses capable of offering competitive rates while meeting quality standards stand to benefit significantly. The engagement not only entails supplying upgraded laptop models but also ensures sustained collaboration through the provision of robust support services over a three-year period. This tender may therefore facilitate long-term business development and strengthen market presence in public sector technology solutions.
