Tenderers are not invited to propose alternative hardware solutions. The lease will be for a fixed term of 48 months. The underlying assets comprise staff laptop devices supplied with a three-year manufacturer warranty. The successful provider will be required to: Purchase the specified equipment from the appointed hardware supplier. Provide a 48-month operating lease covering the equipment detailed within the leasing schedule. Offer fixed lease charges for the full contract term. Provide pricing for both: Annual rentals payable in advance; and quarterly rentals payable in advance. Manage all contract administration associated with the lease throughout its duration. Provide clear and transparent end-of-term arrangements. Comply with all applicable legal, regulatory and accounting requirements relating to operating lease agreements. A detailed equipment schedule, including device specifications, quantities and values, will be provided to suppliers who express an interest in the opportunity and satisfy the selection requirements. End-of-Term Requirements Tenderers must provide: Full details of equipment return arrangements.

Confirmation of whether such charges are fixed or variable. A schedule of charges that may arise from equipment damage or excessive wear and tear. Details of the standards against which returned equipment will be assessed. Confirmation of any circumstances in which additional charges may become payable at lease expiry.
