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.
