## Summary

Merlin Housing Society is conducting a tender process for the "IT Reseller Framework" aimed at procuring and supporting a company-wide restructure of their IT equipment, particularly thin clients and laptops. The procurement procedure is classified under CPV category "Computer equipment and supplies" with a total estimated value of £450,000. The tender was published on 8th August 2017, and the tender period ended on 22nd September 2017. The contract period is set to start on 15th October 2017 and will continue until 14th October 2021, with the award announced on 30th October 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT equipment and services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of supplying computer equipment and related support services. Companies that specialise in the sales and distribution of technology products and those that can offer optimal solutions for application publishing and mobile working will be particularly well-suited to compete.
