Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire procured eight Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250 laptops for its computing equipment requirements. The specified configuration is an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, model 210-BPVN. This is a goods requirement for supplying business laptops and associated computer hardware. Delivery and use are for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire, based in Huntingdon. The procurement was handled by this public-sector buying organisation, with Specialist Computer Centres PC selected as the supplier. The requirement is narrowly defined around a particular Dell laptop model and configuration, so it is most relevant to hardware resellers, IT equipment suppliers and distributors able to source and provide that specification.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Specialist Computer Centres PC was selected for the single lot. 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 published procurement information identifies hardware as the relevant classification and records the tender as a limited procurement method. This outcome shows that the buyer used a restricted competition route for a relatively small, defined purchase rather than an open procedure. The selected supplier is Specialist Computer Centres PC.

This procurement is most relevant to established computer hardware suppliers with access to Dell business laptops and the ability to fulfil a small, precisely specified order. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to source the Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250, model 210-BPVN, with the required Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD, and provide eight matching units. Reliable stock access, distributor relationships, product identification and order-fulfilment capability would be important. The award also indicates that the buyer is willing to use a below-threshold limited competition for defined hardware purchases, so suppliers able to respond efficiently to tightly scoped public-sector IT requirements would be well placed when comparable demand is considered again.
