## Summary

The WATER SERVICES REGULATION AUTHORITY (Ofwat) is seeking bids for the provision of Surface Pros and ancillary IT hardware, specifically for their PR19 project, which aims to support additional staff. The procurement process, classified under the category of Computer equipment and supplies (CPV ID: 30200000), is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 27 November 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 1 December 2017 and conclude by 31 March 2018. Bidders were required to submit their proposals by 24 November 2017, with deliveries expected to begin as stipulated in the award notice published on 11 April 2018. The procurement follows a selective method, utilising a call-off from the CCS Technology Products 2 framework (RM3733).

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT hardware procurement and supply. With Ofwat's additional procurement of potentially up to 20% more items based on demand, there is significant scope for businesses to grow by providing quality technology solutions. Companies equipped to offer reliable warranties and manage any warranty calls will have a competitive edge in this tender, especially those with prior experience in similar public sector contracts. Engaging in this procurement can open avenues for enhanced visibility and further partnerships within the public services sector.

## Notice

The IT hardware required will be used to support the Authority's PR19 project which itself requires the use of extra staff. These extra staff will benefit from the specified equipment. SPECIFICATION The Authority is seeking the provision of a procurement for items specified in this document from the start of the contract to 31 March 2018. However the actual quantities specified in the Price section below are to be provided by Friday 8 December 2017. All quotations are to be sourced from Lot 1 - Hardware under the CCS Technology Products 2 framework agreement (RM3733). The items to be delivered are specified in this document. For items under warranty including any extended warranty, Ofwat expect that all warranty calls will be managed by the supplier, whether the warranty is provided by the supplier or a third party. Depending on the value of the successful bid the numbers specified for the delivery by 8 December may decline by up to 20%. Exact numbers will be confirmed at the time of the contract award. Ofwat may request to purchase a further quantity of some of the items from the date of the contract award up to 31 March 2018. The potential provider must state whether the price quoted can be guaranteed for any additional items purchased by Ofwat before 31 March 2018 or whether there is a maximum percentage uplift that may be applied.
