Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the purchase of two new UK Dell R660 servers has been completed by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire. With a focus on the computer servers industry, this procurement falls under the goods category and follows a limited competition method due to being below the threshold. The completion of this contract was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC, a large business located in Birmingham. Important dates include the contract signing on 17th December 2025, with the contract active from 18th December 2025 to 19th December 2025. The police authority based in Huntingdon, UK, served as the buying organisation, further reinforcing its objective to enhance IT infrastructure within the Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

This procurement opportunity presents potential business growth for companies dealing in IT products, specifically those focused on providing server solutions. Companies with capabilities in delivering custom computer server configurations would particularly benefit and thrive in similar tenders. Furthermore, businesses specialising in government contracts, or those already classified as large suppliers, will find such procurement processes conducive to expanding their portfolio in the public sector domain. By engaging in these opportunities, businesses can strengthen their reputation and establish robust partnerships with public authorities.
