## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire procured a Dell PowerEdge R660 server for the Beds DFU. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying enterprise server hardware, with the associated classification describing a communications server software package (CPV 48219700). The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing in Bedfordshire. The named supplier, Specialist Computer Supplies, is based in Birmingham and is classified as an SME. The requirement concerns a single server purchase rather than a multi-lot programme, and is relevant to businesses supplying Dell PowerEdge infrastructure, compatible server software, or related enterprise computing equipment to police and other public-sector technology users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Specialist Computer Supplies. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 5 August 2026 to 6 August 2026. Its value is £13,512.56 excluding VAT, or £16,215.07 including VAT. The award is active and covers the single requirement for the Dell PowerEdge R660. The published outcome identifies goods as the main category and links the award to the classification for communications server software packages. The recorded procurement method was limited competition, rather than an open procedure, and the available outcome records do not set out separate scoring criteria or an evaluation weighting.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Bedfordshire policing technology requirements: the buyer purchased a named enterprise server model through a below-threshold limited competition and selected an SME specialist computer supplier. Businesses seeking to compete when comparable requirements return would need credible capability in enterprise server supply, Dell PowerEdge product knowledge, configuration and fulfilment, and the provision or compatibility of communications server software. Relevant competitors are likely to be established IT resellers, systems integrators and specialist infrastructure suppliers able to source genuine equipment, meet public-sector purchasing processes, and support rapid delivery of a defined technical specification. Experience supplying police, emergency-service or other public-sector organisations would strengthen credibility, particularly where reliability, compatibility and controlled implementation are important.
