The University is looking for a partner to supply desktop computers, notebook computers, hybrids, monitors and peripherals, though there may be scope to supply further items such as tablets, VR and emerging technology in the future. There will be the need for a number of close to the box services wrapped into the offering.
The agreement will be concentrated on a core list of items, ‘base models’, but there will be a consistent need for ‘advanced’ or bespoke/build to order specifications to meet the needs of the various customers.
The whole service element is absolutely critical in ensuring that the internal owners of this agreement, Exeter IT, are able to meet their own stringent SLAs both from a quality perspective as well as time and accuracy.
The University is looking to extract value for money from this agreement. One key method will to be purchase the hardware with the minimum warranty possible (i.e. 12 months) where the savings are expected to be passed on to the customer.
