Tender: 48-Month Operating Lease for Staff Laptops – The Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College

About

The Sir John Brunner Foundation is seeking a supplier to provide a 48-month operating lease facility to support the acquisition of staff laptop devices for The Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College. The equipment has been procured through a separate competitive process and suppliers must not propose alternative hardware. The successful provider will purchase the specified equipment from the appointed hardware supplier, offer a 48-month operating lease with fixed lease charges for the full term, provide pricing for both annual rentals payable in advance and quarterly rentals payable in advance, manage all lease contract administration, deliver clear and transparent end-of-term arrangements, and comply with applicable legal, regulatory and accounting requirements. A detailed equipment schedule with device specifications, quantities and values will be provided to suppliers who express interest and meet selection requirements. Tenderers must also specify end-of-term return arrangements, any collection, logistics, inspection, asset tracking, data destruction or disposal charges and whether these are fixed or variable, a schedule of charges for damage or excessive wear and tear, the standards used to assess returned equipment, and any circumstances that could trigger additional charges at lease expiry; the Foundation prefers fixed and transparent end-of-term charges and a clearly defined, capped damage charging mechanism.
