Announcing the new University desktop and laptop agreement

The IT Purchasing Group (ITPG) in conjunction with Procurement Services is pleased to announce that the new University agreement for desktop and laptop computers is now available.  We are pleased to announce that Dell continue to be the supplier of choice.

The agreement has been expanded this year to include laptop and ultrabook models for the first time, in recognition of the growing demand for these items on the Managed Cluster Service.

There are two standard models of desktop computer, two laptops and two ultrabooks available under the agreement.  Each of these items is fully configurable for alternative options, such as more memory, better processor, Linux distribution etc.

The contract began on 1 August and will continue until 31 July with the option of one year extension.  All pricing under the agreement is fixed, with options for review after each quarter.
