    "description": "West Herts College has a fixed budget to procure up to 100 laptops for it LSF students.  The College is not overly concerned with the brand proposed, but to ensure seamless deployment and maintain system integrity, it\u0027s essential that we proceed with Westcoast as the designated distributor. We\u0027ve already configured them via VPN as our system image provider, which means the infrastructure is in place for efficient provisioning and support. Switching distributors at this stage would introduce unnecessary delays and technical overhead.\r\nThe College requires the following specification as a minimum:\r\n\r\nI5 or above\r\n512GB\r\n8GB\r\n15.4\"\r\n3-year onsite warranty\r\n\r\nYou must provide an official quotation with your submission, including specification and part code and to reiterate, the stock must be supplied through UK distribution Westcoast, failure to provide may have your quotation excluded.  \r\n\r\nDelivery address is:\r\nWest Herts College\r\nHempstead Road\r\nWatford\r\nWD17 3EZ\r\n\r\nPlease note the following:\r\nRefurbished laptops will not be considered, should you offer refurbished/used, your proposal will be disregarded.\r\nThis procurement is being run via Contracts Finder, no frameworks are being utilised.\r\nThe College reserves the right to select any supplier and its decision is final.\r\n - To access this competition: login to https://suppliers.multiquote.com and view the opportunity RA353889.
