## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire bought laptops for police use. The requirement covers the supply of portable computers, with delivery identified in Hertfordshire, including Welwyn Garden City (AL8). This is a goods procurement, rather than a request for installation, support or other IT services. The purchasing organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire. The published scope is brief: it describes the requirement as laptop supply and does not set out particular models, technical specifications or associated services. Suppliers whose business includes supplying business laptops to public-sector or policing organisations are the closest fit. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Specialist Computer Centres. The award was made on 18 September 2026, with a contract period from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2029. The awarded value is £351,855.20. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than through an open competition for this individual purchase. The tender deadline was 10 September 2026 at 16:00. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria, so the basis on which competing framework suppliers were assessed is not described. The contract is for laptop supply; no separate lots are identified.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for laptop supply by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, delivered to Hertfordshire. A future competitor would need to supply business-grade portable computers at this scale and be positioned to serve a policing organisation. The call-off route is commercially important: relevant suppliers need access to the framework used for the purchase and the ability to compete under its terms, rather than relying on an open tender for each requirement. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, so this type of purchase was not limited to large suppliers. The stated requirement does not establish a need for particular laptop models, specialist accreditations, installation or support services; credibility rests on meeting the buyer’s laptop specifications and framework requirements when this purchasing need arises again.
