## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent bought Dell desktop computers, including an extended three-year warranty. This is a supply requirement for desktop PCs rather than IT support or a wider technology service. Delivery is associated with ME15 9BZ in Kent. The purchase is described as desktops with warranty cover; no further specification of quantities, models or installation work is provided. The requirement is relevant to computer manufacturers and resellers able to supply Dell desktop equipment and provide the stated warranty. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this procurement. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Computacenter UK Ltd. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The awarded value is £481,091.40. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement covers desktop computers as a single requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The stated evaluation basis is not detailed in the process information. The contract is for the supply of Dell desktops with an extended three-year warranty.

This award shows that the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner purchases business-grade Dell desktop computers with extended warranty cover through framework call-offs. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to source and supply Dell desktop equipment at the scale required for a public-sector buyer, and include warranty provision in the offer. The award also indicates that small and medium-sized businesses can be suitable participants in this type of purchase. A credible competitor would need a route to market through an applicable framework and the ability to fulfil equipment orders reliably for the buyer’s Kent requirement. The published scope does not identify particular technical specifications, quantities or service levels, so the demonstrated commercial need is centred on supply of desktops and warranty rather than broader IT services.
