Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council bought new laptops for its corporate stock and to replace existing devices. This is a supply requirement for business laptops, delivered in Stirling. The procurement covered one lot and was intended to meet the council’s general corporate computing needs. The recorded scope is limited to the purchase of laptops; it does not describe associated installation, support or other services. The council is the buyer, and Dell Corporation Limited was selected as supplier. The requirement is relevant to laptop manufacturers, distributors and resellers able to supply devices for local-authority use and deliver them to Stirling.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Dell Corporation Limited was awarded the contract through a direct call-off from the NHS SBS Tech Devices framework, Link 4. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026, with a value of £348,304. The award covered one lot for laptop supply. The underlying procedure is recorded as open, but the call-off itself was a framework direct award; one bid was recorded for the lot. No evaluation criteria or contract-period dates are stated in the procurement details. The award therefore records the selected supplier, signed contract and value, but does not give a stated duration for the work.

This award shows Stirling Council buys laptops for both replacement and stock, at a scale suited to a substantial corporate device order. Dell Corporation Limited secured the work through the NHS SBS Tech Devices framework, so suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need a credible route into that framework or an equivalent route the council chooses to use. A strong competitor would be able to supply business laptops in volume, fulfil local-authority purchasing requirements and deliver across Stirling. The single recorded bid indicates that this call-off attracted one bidder; it does not establish the council’s future competition level. The stated scope is device supply, so specialist laptop sourcing and reliable fulfilment are the clearest relevant capabilities.
