Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured Dell hardware and related computer equipment for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the supply of Dell-branded equipment rather than installation, support or other associated services. The council is a regional public authority based in Gloucester and is the organisation buying the goods. This opportunity is relevant to businesses supplying Dell computer equipment, including authorised resellers, distributors and other suppliers able to fulfil public-sector hardware orders across the UK. The procurement was structured as a single supplies requirement, focused on providing the specified hardware to the council rather than delivering construction works or professional services.

The procurement has reached completion, with an active award to Dell Corporation Ltd and an active contract. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is valued at £200,000. Its stated duration is 360 days. The council used a selective restricted procedure, with written submissions in English; variants were not allowed and a document participation fee applied. The stated evaluation basis was price. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026. The published tender lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the recorded outcome is an award and contract to Dell Corporation Ltd. One bid was recorded for the requirement.

This outcome indicates established public-sector demand for Dell computer equipment from Gloucestershire County Council at a substantial single-order scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to Dell hardware, the ability to supply genuine equipment through an appropriate distribution or reseller route, and sufficient operational capacity to fulfil a council-wide UK delivery requirement. The evaluation outcome shows that price was the stated basis for selection, so competitive pricing and transparent cost build-up would be important. Suppliers should also be prepared for a restricted procurement route, written English submissions, fixed specifications with no variants, and any charge for access to tender documents. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating capacity was relevant to delivery.
