## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire procured eight Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250 laptops for Bedfordshire policing. The specification is Dell model 210-BPVN with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. This is a goods requirement for business computing hardware, classified under CPV 44316400 (hardware). The procurement was managed by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, whose headquarters are in Kempston, Bedfordshire. The requirement is a straightforward supply of configured laptop equipment rather than installation, software development or managed IT services, so it is most relevant to computer hardware distributors, authorised Dell resellers and technology suppliers able to provide the stated model and specification to a public-sector police organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and Specialist Computer Centres PLC was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026, with an active contract period from 7 to 8 September 2026. Its value is £12,124.48 excluding VAT, or £14,549.38 including VAT. The award covers the supply of the eight specified Dell laptops. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, indicating a restricted field of invited suppliers. The recorded award is active and the associated contract is active; there is no indication of cancellation or termination. The successful supplier is a large Birmingham-based technology company.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small, concentrated batch of high-performance business laptops for Bedfordshire policing. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have reliable access to Dell Pro Max equipment, the ability to source the exact processor, memory and storage configuration, and established distribution arrangements for prompt delivery. A credible competitor would also need experience supplying public-sector or similarly controlled organisations, with dependable order administration, product authenticity and warranty support. The scale suits an established reseller or value-added distributor able to fulfil a complete equipment order rather than a manufacturer of bespoke systems. Familiarity with limited public-sector competitions and below-threshold purchasing routes would help suppliers respond effectively when this buyer next needs comparable endpoint hardware.
