## Summary

The Met Office procured 660 Dell Pro 15 laptop devices with three years of support. This is a goods requirement for office and computing equipment, covering the supply of standard business laptops and associated support services. Delivery is in the South West of England. The purchasing organisation is the Met Office, based in Exeter. The requirement is intended to provide a substantial quantity of supported laptop equipment for the organisation’s operational needs, rather than standalone consultancy, software development or construction work. Businesses active in supplying Dell business devices, managed end-user equipment or hardware support in the South West are the most directly relevant. The requirement concerns Dell Pro 15 devices specifically, so suppliers would need access to that product range or an appropriate distribution and fulfilment arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 31 July 2026 at noon. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited on 6 August 2026 for £989,386.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 6 August 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the 660 laptops and three-year support. The opportunity was classified as goods and assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information does not set out separate lots or detailed quality, technical or price weightings, so the recorded basis is the framework call-off procedure rather than a separately described evaluation model.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates recurring demand from the Met Office for a sizeable fleet of Dell business laptops backed by multi-year support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to Dell Pro 15 devices, the purchasing power and operational capacity to fulfil hundreds of units, and established arrangements for asset delivery, configuration or deployment where required by the buyer. It would also need to provide dependable support throughout the equipment lifecycle, manage warranty or service issues at scale, and work effectively through a public-sector framework call-off. The recorded assessment favoured larger suppliers rather than SMEs or VCSEs, indicating that financial resilience, national or regional logistics and the ability to maintain consistent service across a substantial technology estate are important competitive characteristics.
