2825 - Multi-Party Framework Agreement for the Supply of PCs, Laptops, Tablet Devices and Related Products.

To whom it may concern,

The Contracting Authority intends to establish a multi party framework agreement for the supply of PCs, laptops, tablet devices and related products for use in Beaumont Hospital. While the initial contract to be delivered under this framework agreement will be concern the supply of PCs, laptops and tablet devices, the Contracting Authority shall also be entitled to utilise this framework agreement as a whole for the supply of all related products and ancillary items, including monitors, computer mice, components and hardware upgrades of every description.

The initial contract comprises the first ‘batch’ of hardware to be procured under this framework agreement (i.e., the 2021 quantum of computer equipment). It is envisioned that the hardware purchased under the initial contract will comprise the devices listed in the Pricing Schedule (Appendix 2). Tenderers are advised that the Pricing Schedule lists the quantities of equipment to be purchased under the initial contract in an indicative manner only; the precise quantities of equipment to be purchased in 2021 shall depend upon budgetary considerations and the requirements of the Contracting Authority.

In accordance with Article 27.3 of Directive 2014/24/EU, the Contracting Authority is availing of shortened timescales in respect of this competition. The urgency associated with this requirement arises from the fact that the required equipment will be used in an acute hospital setting. On grounds of patient care, time is of the essence in respect of this competition.
