## Summary

The City of Liverpool College has completed a procurement process for IT Equipment through a direct award to DELL CORPORATION LIMITED, under the NHS framework reference SBS/19/AB/WAB/9411. This contract aims to upgrade IT suites and academies with delivery scheduled between 15th July and 31st July 2025. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically focusing on computer equipment and supplies. This strategic procurement choice was based on the compatibility and cost-effectiveness of using Dell products due to their existing software integrations at the College's Liverpool campus, located in the UKD72 region.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and installation of IT equipment, particularly those specialising in computer systems and integration services. Large businesses, such as well-established tech firms capable of managing custom specifications and warranty services, would find this type of contract suitable. The emphasis on streamlined integration with existing systems and software at the College highlights an opportunity for businesses that provide bespoke solutions aligned with existing technological infrastructure.

## Notice

Direct award through NHS framework (ref SBS/19/AB/WAB/9411) This notice covers six purchase orders for IT Equipment which will be installed over the summer break to upgrade our IT suites and academies. Two previous notices have been published over the last week for Dell. This notice is replacing both of them to show a more accurate spend with this supplier using the direct award process recently. Notice identifiers: 2025/S 000-038827 2025/S 000-038698

### Procurement Information

Availability within a 2 week period for all items, custom specification, warranty, integrates with current software solutions for management and update processes. Using an alternative supplier would not be beneficial due to the greater costs of integrations through staff time and so, would not prove to be economically as beneficial. Current Dell for all desktop and server solution. All products required are to be made available from the sole supplier.
