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.

Work has commenced on the relet of the Desktop Client Device framework sourcing strategy. To assist with this process, Scottish Procurement recognises the value of suppliers and industry bodies having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non-competitive, non-judgemental basis. To enable this, Scottish Procurement has drafted a Request for Information (RfI) with the link to the RfI included within the letter attached to this notice. Suppliers and other interested parties should read, populate and return the RfI by midday on 19 October 2026. This notice is issued for information only and does not constitute a call for competition. Any national collaborative arrangement will be available to the Scottish public and third sector bodies detailed within the Contract Notice. Scottish Government and the Scottish Ministers shall have no liability for any costs, however incurred, by those organisations engaging in the RfI process, attending any information meetings, or having any involvement in the proposed procurement process.

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. Additional information: Please see the attached request for information letter for further information.
