This process was a direct award under the NHS Shared Business Services Framework Agreement for the provision of laptops, PCs, and associated hardware across all Cefas directorates and sites. The procurement method was limited, specifically carried out without a prior call for competition. The contract, worth £250,000, was awarded to Dell Corporation Ltd on 24th July 2025, and the procurement falls under the goods category, focusing on portable computers.

Although the direct award approach was utilised for this procurement, indicating a predetermined supplier, similar opportunities might become available as more public organisations aim to update their IT infrastructure. Businesses with established capabilities in providing high-quality IT goods, like Dell Corporation Ltd, which possess the necessary scale and resources to fulfil significant orders efficiently, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders or similar procurement exercises in the future.
