This procurement, classified under the industry category of 'Computer equipment and supplies', is taking place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ends on 15th July 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 16th July 2019 and extend for a duration of three years, potentially renewable for another two. The estimated contract value ranges from £4.5 million to £20 million over the maximum term, reflecting previous spending levels and future requirements including a Windows 10 upgrade project. The procurement method is open, allowing all eligible suppliers to participate. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in computer hardware, including manufacturers and suppliers of desktop computers, notebooks, hybrids, monitors, and peripherals, as well as those offering associated services such as installation and IT support. Additionally, companies equipped to provide bespoke, build-to-order specifications will find the needs of the University’s varied customer base particularly relevant. This contract particularly favours larger firms with experience in integrating IT service management tools, positioning them well to meet the high service level agreements expected by Exeter IT. ## Notice The University is looking for a partner to supply predominantly desktop computers, notebook computers, hybrids, monitors and peripherals, though there may be scope to supply further items such as tablets, VR and emerging technology in the future. There will be the need for a number of close to the box services wrapped into the offering. UoE's Requirements (a) The main supply agreement will be concentrated on a core list of items, 'base models', but there will be a consistent need for 'advanced' or bespoke/build to order specifications to meet the needs of the various customers. (b) The whole service element is absolutely critical in ensuring that the internal owners of this agreement, Exeter IT, are able to meet their own stringent SLAs both from a quality perspective as well as time and accuracy. (c) The winning supplier will be required to integrate with the newly implemented ITSM tool by Axios. Whilst the exact specifics of this are yet to be determined, suppliers are expected to understand that this is a fundamental element of the successful delivery of the service to users. This is further explored in the relevant sections of the tender. Contract Term The contract term is a 3+2 year arrangement. Contract value, based on previous year's spend and anticipated future spend, considering the upcoming Windows 10 upgrade project, is estimated to be between PS1.5 and PS4 million per annum. This equates to a total contract value of between PS4.5 million and PS20 million over the maximum term of five years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83c43881-3579-40eb-bca6-55e717836852 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Jul 2019 - 17 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000,000 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF EXETER | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX4 4QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Duryard and St James | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies - 30210000 - Data-processing machines (hardware) - 30213000 - Personal computers - 30213100 - Portable computers - 30213200 - Tablet computer - 30213300 - Desktop computer - 30214000 - Workstations - 30230000 - Computer-related equipment - 30231000 - Computer screens and consoles - 30236000 - Miscellaneous computer equipment - 30237000 - Parts, accessories and supplies for computers - 30237200 - Computer accessories - 30237300 - Computer supplies - 30237410 - Computer mouse - 30237460 - Computer keyboards ## Release History - 17 Jun 2019 at 07:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83c43881-3579-40eb-bca6-55e717836852 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83c43881-3579-40eb-bca6-55e717836852 17th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=28901&B=EXETER Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/53042 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.exeter.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
