UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire procured a Dell R570 server for its technology and communications infrastructure. The specification covers an Intel 16-core 2.3 GHz processor and 128 GB of RAM. The purchase is categorised as goods, with associated classifications covering communications server software and internet or intranet server application development services. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of enterprise servers, data-centre hardware and related systems, particularly those able to supply Dell equipment configured to the stated processing and memory specification for a police and public-sector environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and awarded on 11 September 2026 to Specialist Computer Centres plc. The contract value is £19,262.59 excluding VAT, or £23,115.11 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 to 12 September 2026. It consisted of one completed lot for the Dell R570 requirement. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The evaluation basis was the limited-competition process used for this below-threshold purchase; detailed weighting or individual evaluation criteria are not stated.

This award indicates a defined requirement for high-capacity enterprise server hardware within Cambridgeshire policing, rather than a general consumer IT purchase. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would have authorised or established access to Dell server products, the ability to configure and supply systems with high-core-count processors and substantial memory, and experience serving public-sector or other security-conscious organisations. Credibility would also come from dependable fulfilment, technical product knowledge and the ability to support server infrastructure associated with communications and internet or intranet applications. Businesses competing for similar work should be comfortable with below-threshold limited competitions and with supplying a tightly specified single-server requirement.
