This procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically for tablet computers (CPV: 30213200). The open procedure is being implemented to appoint a supplier for the provision of Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 devices, required by the 19th of February 2018. The contract is expected to commence on the 20th of February 2018 and conclude by the 28th of February 2018. The total contract value is estimated to be £201,000, with a minimum value of £200,000. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of electronic devices, particularly those capable of providing 4G enabled tablets. Companies with experience in the technology sector, especially those familiar with providing hardware solutions to the housing or care industries, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the open nature of the tender and the specific product requirements, it is important for potential suppliers to closely adhere to the specifications outlined to ensure compliance and increase their chances of success in this procurement process. ## Notice Housing & Care 21 are currently in the process of redeveloping their core business infrastructure, culminating in new Housing and Finance systems. As part of this redevelopment, a new, flexible method working is being rolled out enabling Court and Scheme Managers the opportunity to access a variety of documents, forms and policies through a tablet device. Following a period of market testing and an evaluation from a Court Manager focus group, it was decided that the tablet device to be used for this project would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (full product specification can be located in the tender documentation). The main objective of this tender is to appoint a supplier to provide a pre-defined number of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 devices (as described in the pricing document) at the best possible price. The tablets must be 4G enabled to ensure constant data coverage is available should the Wi-Fi fail at any of Housing & Care 21's sites. Please note that Housing & Care 21 will not accept an alternative product for this project at this moment in time. Alternative devices may be considered at a later date, but these will be requested in a separate tender exercise if required.
