Technology Products and Services Framework

This framework agreement enables the procurement of technology products and associated services across three main categories: Hardware: End User Computing devices (laptops, tablets, desktops, smartphones, peripherals, monitors, printers, scanners); Infrastructure Hardware (servers, storage, switches, routers, security equipment, high performance computing); and Multifunction Devices (printers, mobile devices, wireless routers). Assistive Technology and Technology Enabled Care products are also included. Hardware can be purchased outright, leased, delivered as a service, or under a utility model, with options for new or refurbished devices aligned to Net Zero and Circular IT objectives. Software: Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, open source software, and software licences available for purchase or subscription. Associated Services: Design, implementation, end user support, maintenance, installation, imaging, warranty, service desk, project management, training, asset management, security management, network infrastructure management, device-as-a-service, data cleansing, recycling, and disposal services. The framework supports sustainability and Net Zero objectives by enabling refurbished devices and extending product lifecycles through maintenance and recycling services. Further scope refinement will occur following market engagement.
