two.1.4) Short description
Devon County Council (DCC) are inviting tender submissions from industry accredited technology suppliers for replacement of our existing IT Hardware contract which is finishing at the end of 2021.
Devon is undertaking a corporate-wide Transformation programme and as part of this programme there is a Digital Transformation stream which involves the use and implementation of Microsoft led technology. The scope of which will encompass a complete refresh of our end user compute estate via a Device Replacement project using Microsoft Managed Desktop (MMD) devices.
The Authority also requires the supplier to deliver devices to employees homes or satellite locations and so this project will require project management, administration, logistics and user support to ensure that staff receive the most appropriate device types, that these are efficiently delivered, that staff are supported to ensure they immediately benefit from the new devices, and that ‘legacy’ (i.e. currently deployed, ‘old’) devices are recovered and disposed of, including the secure disposal of any persistent data storage media. The Council therefore also wants to procure support services to assist in the successful implement of the Project.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Council’s internal IT hardware service currently provides laptops and associated equipment for use by the Council’s staff and some partner organisations.
The Council is seeking a partner to supply approximately 5000 end user compute devices (roughly 90% of which are laptops), peripherals and associated equipment.
The majority of these will need to be MMD compatible devices to support the above-mentioned Device Replacement project. In addition to this, during the early phases of the project, there will be a need to supply non-MMD devices to support the current BAU hardware service.
The Authority also requires the supplier to deliver devices to employees homes or satellite locations and so this project will require project management, administration, logistics and user support to ensure that staff receive the most appropriate device types, that these are efficiently delivered, that staff are supported to ensure they immediately benefit from the new devices, and that ‘legacy’ (i.e. currently deployed, ‘old’) devices are recovered and disposed of, including the secure disposal of any persistent data storage media. The Council therefore also wants to procure support services to assist in the successful implement of the Project.
Period of Contract: three years with the option to extend 2 x 24 months at the discretion of DCC.
