Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured two servers for its SQL cluster, including associated support and warranty services. This is an information technology hardware supply requirement, classified under CPV 32420000 for network equipment. The servers are to be delivered to Carpenter House, Carpenter Street, Perth, PH1 5GD. The requirement was arranged through the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework agreement, reference SBS10510, and formed one lot. The council is the buying organisation and the equipment supports its internal public-sector technology infrastructure. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would include businesses able to provide enterprise servers together with long-term technical support and warranty cover, rather than suppliers offering general office equipment or unrelated IT consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with Dell Corporation Limited selected for the single lot. The contract is active and was signed on 31 July 2026. Its value is £58,850.48. The contract term reflects the required seven-year support and warranty period. The process used a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure and an award under the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework agreement. One electronic bid was recorded for the lot; it came from a non-EU foreign bidder, and no bid was recorded from an SME. Perth & Kinross Council awarded the requirement as a complete single-lot procurement. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier but do not state a separate award date or a scored evaluation weighting.

This award indicates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for enterprise server hardware supporting a SQL cluster, combined with dependable long-term warranty and support delivery. A credible future competitor would need to supply compatible servers, understand clustered database infrastructure and provide technical assistance over an extended support term. The requirement was placed through the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, so suppliers would need access to that framework route or an equivalent route used by the buyer. The recorded competition comprised one electronic bid from a large non-EU supplier, suggesting that scale, framework readiness and the ability to stand behind a multi-year support commitment were important commercial characteristics. Hardware resellers, infrastructure specialists and managed support providers with these capabilities are the closest fit.
