The Supply of Laptops

Tender description

The Council requires the supply and delivery of Laptops for Renfrewshire Staff. As a result of covid-19 and the increased need for home-working, the IT industry is experiencing an unprecedented demand for mobile computing devices causing a negative impact on the manufacture and distribution of IT products. Due to this, the Council has experienced major delays with Orders placed via the Direct Award procedure of existing Frameworks. Therefore, for this order, a negotiated procedure was conducted in accordance with The Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 Regulation 6.—(1)(c)where (but only if it is strictly necessary) for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the authority considers it must proceed to award a contract without delay.
