This tender is currently active, and the procurement method is an open procedure that falls below the threshold. The tender period concludes on 2nd September 2020, with contracts expected to commence from 1st October 2020 and last until 30th September 2021. The procurement has a total estimated value of £189,000, with a minimum bid threshold set at £25,000. Interested parties can deliver goods to various addresses within the UK and internationally, as detailed in the tender documentation. This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in computer hardware and IT infrastructure. Businesses capable of providing high-quality laptops and supporting IT equipment, as well as offering leasing options, will be particularly well-suited to participate. Given the council's interest in balancing performance with budget considerations, companies offering innovative solutions that align with modern infrastructure demands may find this tender an excellent fit for expanding their market reach and capabilities. ## Notice Worcestershire Business Central currently have a number of laptops which are nearing the end of their reasonable life. Hardware performance is inconsistent and storage solutions require replacement. WBC's current IT and Telephony hardware and support is delivered by a third-party contract. WBC have a modest budget to replace hardware to work in line with any new infrastructure. We are happy to review purchase of lease options. See attached documentation for full tender requirements.
