The current single supplier framework is due to expire on 31 August 2027. 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.

Please note the estimated value is purely for the Desktop Client Device framework. Additional information: Please see the attached request for information letter for further information.
