UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire purchased eight Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250 laptops for policing operations. The required specification is Intel Core Ultra 7 processing, 32GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, model 210-BPVN. This is a hardware supply requirement rather than a software, support or managed service contract. The buying organisation is based at Harpenden Police Station, Harpenden, and the equipment is for the Hertfordshire policing environment. Businesses specialising in supplying business laptops, Dell hardware and related workplace computing equipment would be the most relevant comparators. The requirement is a single, standardised equipment package, with all units based on the same Dell model and technical configuration.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Specialist Computer Centres PLC was selected as supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 8 September 2026. Its value is £12,124.48 excluding VAT, or £14,549.38 including VAT. The contract is active. The award concerns goods: eight laptops meeting the stated Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250 specification. The process used limited competition rather than an open procedure, and the published outcome records one supplier for the complete requirement. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This procurement indicates demand from Hertfordshire policing for tightly specified, current-generation business laptops supplied as a small, standardised batch. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to Dell Pro Max equipment, the ability to source the exact MC16250 model and 210-BPVN configuration, and capacity to provide eight identical units without substituting materially different hardware. Strong performance would depend on accurate interpretation of processor, memory and storage specifications, dependable fulfilment, and experience supplying hardware to a public authority. Businesses operating as specialist IT resellers or hardware distributors are the clearest fit. The limited-competition route also suggests that suppliers with an established route into the buyer’s procurement process and a concise, compliant quotation would be well placed.
