## Summary

Essex Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Fire & Rescue Authority bought Lenovo E14 Gen 8 laptops for its fire and rescue service. This is a supply of computer equipment, rather than an IT support or software contract. The purchase was made through the KCS Procurement Services framework for IT hardware, IT asset disposal and associated services, under its new IT hardware lot. The laptops were to be delivered in the United Kingdom; the procurement data does not identify a more specific delivery place. The requirement was for replacement laptops and was procured through a rapid request for quotation under the framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. XMA Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). This was a competitive, selective award below the applicable threshold, made under an existing framework after a rapid request for quotation. The purchase was handled as one lot, covering new IT hardware. The award records computer equipment and supplies as the category. The published award information does not set out separate scoring criteria or eligibility requirements for the quotation.

For a supplier seeking to compete when this buyer next procures replacement laptops, credibility will depend on the ability to supply Lenovo E14 Gen 8 devices at the scale of a substantial multi-unit purchase and to fulfil a short, defined delivery requirement. The buyer used a rapid quotation among suppliers on the KCS Procurement Services framework, specifically its new IT hardware lot, so framework access and the ability to respond efficiently to a focused hardware request are directly relevant. A supplier should be equipped to source and deliver the specified laptop model reliably. The award demonstrates demand from Essex Fire and Rescue for end-user computing equipment; it does not indicate a requirement for wider IT services, software or asset disposal in this purchase.
