UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire procured 17 Dell Pro 16 PC16250 laptops (model 210-BQPL), each configured with an Intel Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This is a goods procurement for computer hardware supporting the commissioner’s policing organisation. The contracting authority is based at Bedfordshire Police Headquarters in Kempston, Bedfordshire. The requirement is a straightforward supply of specified desktop computing equipment rather than a software, support or construction service. Businesses operating as IT hardware resellers, value-added distributors or public-sector technology suppliers would be the most relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC, and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 15 August 2026. Its value is £16,271.38 excluding VAT, or £19,525.66 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the supply of the specified Dell Pro 16 PC16250 hardware to the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire. The published outcome identifies a single successful supplier and a single completed lot. The available procurement details describe the limited route and product specification, but do not set out a separate quality, price or technical scoring breakdown.

This award demonstrates demand from Bedfordshire’s policing organisation for a defined batch of business laptops with a current Intel Ultra 5 platform, 16GB memory and 256GB storage. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need reliable access to the specified Dell model or an expressly compliant equivalent, established hardware distribution arrangements and the capacity to supply a batch order accurately. Experience supplying public-sector or policing customers would help with understanding formal purchasing requirements and fulfilment expectations, while a large-scale IT reseller profile, as demonstrated by the awarded supplier, indicates the commercial capacity used for this procurement. The opportunity is most relevant to businesses focused on standardised end-user computing hardware rather than bespoke technology services.
