## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by DCH for the supply of tablet devices aimed at enhancing mobile working for their repairs operatives across Devon and Cornwall. This open tender, categorised under minicomputer hardware, has a tender period that ended on 21st October 2016, and the anticipated contract period runs from 30th November 2016 to 30th November 2019. The total contract value is £323,000, with proposals submitted during the specified tender period. Interested parties were encouraged to comply with the technical specifications relevant to DCH's existing systems.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of mobile computing technology, particularly those that can supply compatible devices and services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, given DCH’s openness to their involvement, which can help these businesses expand their portfolios and establish long-term relationships with a significant buyer in the UK public sector. Companies with experience in mobile computing hardware and system integrations may find this tender especially relevant.

## Notice

DCH has a requirement for mobile working devices to replace its existing devices of Motorola MC65's and Tetratabs. The replacement will be required to be compatible with the existing 1st Touch system, SOTI mobicontrol and other additional functions (this is outlined in the technical specification).
