Aggregation: End user device aggregation 04, 2027
About this event
About this event
The fragmentation of IT hardware procurement creates unnecessary challenges and costs across the public sector. This was highlighted in the National Audit Office (NAO) report, which identified significant opportunities to improve technology procurement.
Join the End User Device Aggregation 04 (EUD04), to help transform how the public sector buys commodity hardware, with core focus on laptops.
By consolidating IT hardware requirements from multiple organisations, we unlock significant opportunities for technical harmonisation, procurement efficiencies and collective buying power.
What can be bought?
To participate, your organisation must have a laptop requirement. Once this baseline is met, you can also include additional IT hardware, such as: mobile handsets, monitors, tablets, desktops and peripherals.
We understand the need for flexible deployment. This opportunity supports both short-term needs (spot buys) and longer-term requirements for organisations requiring an extended roll-out or a storage solution.
Who can join?
This aggregation is open to all public and third sector organisations. If your
organisation procures IT hardware, this opportunity is for you.
Who can benefit?
This aggregation will be designed to secure benefits to all public sector organisations (including central government departments, local authorities, health, education and emergency services) irrespective of size or scale.
