## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council has conducted a direct award procurement process for the purchase of 200 laptops, valued at £147,426, under the classification of computer-related equipment. The buying organisation initiated this tender on 10th October 2020, with the contract period starting on 27th October 2020 and ending on 27th November 2021. The tender was awarded on 26th October 2020, following a simple procurement method, and is located in the East of England.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses in the technology sector, particularly those specialising in computers and laptops. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts due to the buyer's openness towards smaller suppliers. Companies that can deliver portable computers and related services may find significant potential for growth through such public contracts.
