Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the National Records of Scotland focuses on the provision of IT backup refresh and Dell hardware support, specifically for their operations in Edinburgh. Categorised under general public services, this direct award contract was issued through a limited procurement method. The process was completed without prior publication, with the award being granted to Dell Computers. This transaction was officially signed on 30th August 2024. The contract is valued at £11,983.98 GBP, with the procurement falling outside the scope of specific directive applications, as noted in its classifications.

This procurement process presents a business growth opportunity for companies specialising in IT support and hardware, particularly those capable of providing advanced technology solutions and maintenance services. Although the tender was a direct award to Dell Computers, businesses in the technology services industry can gain insights into potential future opportunities with public sector organisations like the National Records of Scotland. Familiarity with the buyer’s requirements and the ability to deliver high-quality IT infrastructure support could position similar businesses well for competitive bidding in forthcoming contracts.
