## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has successfully completed a direct procurement process for the acquisition of 25 Microsoft Surface Pros, valued at £22,420.72, aimed at ensuring employees can work remotely amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract was executed quickly due to the urgent nature of the requirements, with the tender period concluding on 19 February 2020 and the contract period spanning from 21 to 22 February 2020. The procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically focusing on tablet computers, and involved suppliers delivering to locations within England.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in technology and educational devices, particularly those that can supply similar electronic units and accessories. Suppliers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provide IT solutions or remote working tools, would be well-suited to participate in future tenders, as the demand for equipment that supports flexible working arrangements remains high in the wake of the pandemic.

## Notice

In preparation for the imminent UK lockdown to stop the spread of the Coronavirus Pandemic, LCC purchased 25 Surface Pro, Keyboards, covers and Adapters to ensure its employees could work from home and remotely to provide critical and front-line services. This procurement was urgent due to the pandemic increasing demand for EUDs and supply being limited and potentially affected as manufacturing takes place in China.
