Tender description

Scottish Procurement intends to establish a national collaborative framework for the provision of Desktop Client Devices and supporting supplies and services for the Scottish public sector. The current single supplier framework is due to expire on 31 August 2027. Lot 1: Scottish Procurement intends to establish a national collaborative framework for the provision of Desktop Client Devices and supporting services for the Scottish public sector. The framework will primarily provide a core range of desktop computer devices with a range of associated supplies and services. Scottish Procurement currently has an established national collaborative framework for Mobile Client Devices which provides laptops, notebooks and similar portable devices, again with a range of associated supplies and services. This framework is currently due to end in November 2027 but has extension options for a further 24 months and can potentially continue until November 2029. Scottish Procurement is taking the opportunity to determine if combining the Desktop and Mobile Client Device frameworks is viable or desirable, and accordingly, we are seeking the supply market views on this potential route. Please note the estimated value is purely for the Desktop Client Device framework.. Please see the attached request for information letter for further information.

About the buyer

The Scottish Government is a devolved central government department that buys through its Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate. Regulated procurements across the Scottish public sector are advertised on Public Contracts Scotland, the national portal set up in 2008. Bids are usually submitted through PCS-Tender, the national eTendering system it funds. The directorate also runs frameworks covering construction, corporate services, ICT, professional services, utilities and HR. Many of these frameworks are open to the wider Scottish public sector as well as central government. The Supplier Development Programme offers free tender training to SMEs and third sector organisations.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Scottish Government's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and research and development.
