The Council operates at several sites, including Community Centres and other locations across Oxford. Its main office is located at St. Aldates, in the city centre. The Council wishes to secure a Supplier to undertake a refresh of all its current laptop and desktop devices. The current devices are a mixture of mainly Lenovo desktop PCs and Laptops. Many of the devices are more than 4 years old, with some devices dating back to 2009/10. Funding is available to refresh devices over a four-year period; however the age of the devices is such that the majority of devices are incapable of remaining serviceable for this period. The Council is able to leverage this funding in a number of ways, however is also interested in understanding alternative Supplier finance models such as leasing, out right purchase or a combination of these. Devices are currently running Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise, with Office 2010. The Council applications are a mixture of locally installed 32bit Windows applications, Java based web-enabled applications which run inside a browser - currently IE9 and/or Firefox or Chrome. Other Win32 applications are streamed via a collection of Citrix application servers, running XenApp 6.5, most often for performance issues where devices and network issues have been identified. The Council requires a full refresh of all devices within a 6-9 month period. Council ICT staff will have minimum involvement in the build process beyond design and testing. A technical Project Manager from the Council will be assigned to manage the deployment of the devices, working in conjunction with the Supplier's Project Manager. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0f07e4c-bd78-4c0c-b9cf-5f1ee72a7f92 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2019 - 31 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OXFORD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | OXFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX1 1DS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Oxford | | Electoral ward | Osney & St Thomas | | Westminster constituency | Oxford West and Abingdon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies ## Release History - 19 Oct 2018 at 09:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0f07e4c-bd78-4c0c-b9cf-5f1ee72a7f92 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0f07e4c-bd78-4c0c-b9cf-5f1ee72a7f92 19th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
