## Summary

The tender process for the iBorrow Replacement has been awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd by Canterbury Christ Church University. This procurement falls within the Computer Equipment and Supplies category, specifically focusing on portable computers. The university, located at North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent, initiated the tender under a restricted procedure and has completed the contract award as of 11th July 2019. The contract period commences on 5th August 2019 and extends until 2nd July 2020. The tender period concluded on 3rd July 2019, providing a structured timeline for both the awarding and delivery processes.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the technology sector, particularly those specialising in the supply of computers and electronic equipment. Companies that can offer portable computing solutions, like laptops, would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. As Canterbury Christ Church University seeks to refresh its stock of iBorrow laptops, businesses that can deliver high-quality products and meet specific delivery timelines will find competitive advantages. Additionally, establishing a relationship with a reputable higher education institution can facilitate further collaboration and growth in the education sector.

## Notice

The University maintains a pool of 250 laptops (known locally as iBorrows) across its library sites, these can be booked out and used by students anywhere within our libraries. Our existing devices are approaching the end of their serviceable life and we are intending to refresh this provision before September 2019. We are expecting to make and initial purchase of 250 devices in early to mid-July for delivery in the first week of August and will award the successful bidder with a 1 year contract as preferred supplier for iBorrow laptops. Therefore any additional i-Borrow laptops required by the University between 1st August 2019 and 31st July 2020 will be ordered from the successful bidder.
