Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, located at 5 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow, is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Provision of Client Devices". This procurement aims to establish a comprehensive framework for supplying client devices, including mobile and desktop units, along with associated services to the Scottish Public Sector. The objective is to build on the success of two existing frameworks, extending their benefits across the public sector. Key dates to note include a future notice date on 3rd February 2025, with interested parties requested to provide their views through a Request for Information (RfI) by 7th October 2024. The total estimated value of the contract is £200 million, underscoring the significant opportunity this tender represents within the industry category of general public services for goods in the UKM region.

This tender is an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in IT hardware and related services. Companies providing laptops, mobile workstations, desktops, and their associated accessories can benefit immensely from being included in this national framework. The detailed procurement process allows businesses to engage with the Scottish Government and potentially contribute to shaping the framework through the non-competitive RfI process. Suppliers have the chance to influence the structure, scope, and commercial model of the framework, thereby directly aligning their offerings to meet public sector needs. Small, medium, and large IT suppliers with the capability to deliver comprehensive client device solutions and additional services like maintenance and support are particularly well-suited to compete.

Notice Title

Provision of Client Devices

Notice Description

Scottish Ministers are seeking to establish a framework for the provision of Client Devices and associated services to the Scottish Public Sector. The new framework will build on the success of two existing frameworks - the Mobile Client Devices Framework and the Desktop Client Devices Framework.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Procurement will soon be tendering for the re-let of the National Framework for Mobile Client Devices (Laptops, Mobile Workstations, associated accessories and services). We intend to explore incorporating the scope of the Desktop Client Devices Framework (Desktops, Monitors, Fixed Workstations, associated accessories and services) into the new framework to bring additional benefits to the Framework Public Bodies. This PIN is issued to provide and gather information only and does not constitute a call for competition.
