contract expected to commence 16September 2024 to procure laptops,

Reason for
Decision
The Invitation to Tender (ITT) for laptop
refresh project period was initiated on 3rd June 2024
and ended on 2nd July under the CCS RM 6098 Technology
Products and Associated Services 2 Framework Agreement Lot 2, with
the intention of awarding the contract to a single Supplier.After
the final rounds of moderation, Computacenter achieved the highest
score based on both quality and price criteria. The evaluation
panel found that the Computacenter bid demonstrated a comprehensive
understanding of WCC's requirements and expectations and proposed a
comprehensive and robust implementation that met and, in some
areas, exceeded the specifications, and the service standards set
out in the ITT document. The chosen Supplier’s proposal
has shown 'Value for Money' by fulfilling the scope of the
requirement within the predetermined budget. The assessment panel
has thus determined that the proposed Supplier provides the best
value and most appropriate solution for WCC's needs and has
recommended them as the preferred Supplier for the
contract.
