## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has successfully completed a tender process for the acquisition of 300 Dell laptops and associated bags, valued at £160,677. This urgent procurement, classified under the industry category of portable computers (CPV code 30213100), was initiated as part of a direct award to ensure that critical services can be maintained during the COVID-19 crisis. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, negotiated without a call for competition, and the award notice was published on 21 April 2020. The delivery of the laptops is directed to the East Midlands region, specifically aiding the Council's remote working capabilities from 9 to 10 March 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that supply technology products, particularly those that can deliver portable computers and related accessories. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to meet urgent hardware demands would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. Businesses specialising in IT solutions and equipment provision may find opportunities to enlarge their market share while supporting important public sector services during challenging times.

## Notice

Direct Award in line with Crown Commercial Service's PPN 01/20 (Responding to COVID-19) and referenced Regulation 32 (2) (c) from the Public Contract Regulation 2015 for the provision of 300 Dell laptops and associated bags. This procurement has been made to ensure the Council continues to deliver critical and front-line services working from home or remotely in line with the Government's guidelines on working from home, wherever possible, and the aforementioned PPN. This is an urgent procurement to meet the shortage of end user devices (EUDs) for Leicestershire County Council (LCC) staff and front-line workers to deliver critical services during the COVID-19 crisis through home and remote site working.
