Catalogue frameworks, refresh cycles and what happens to the old kit
ICT hardware is bought through catalogue frameworks far more often than through one-off competitions, because the products change faster than a procurement cycle. A framework fixes the supplier, the terms and a discount structure, and the catalogue is refreshed during the term as models are superseded. The consequence for bidders is that the competition is won on the mechanism -- discount off a published price list, the commitment to substitute equivalent or better as models retire -- rather than on the specification of any single device.
Minimum technical specifications are stated as a floor, not a target, and the terms that differentiate bids sit around the device. Warranty length and whether it is return-to-base or on-site with a next-business-day engineer, the availability of spares for the stated support period, and energy efficiency and environmental certification are all scored. For volume rollouts, buyers frequently require imaging with their own build, asset tagging and registration, staged delivery to named sites and installation at the desk rather than delivery to a loading bay.
The obligation bidders most often underprice is at the other end of the life cycle. Taking away displaced equipment, erasing or destroying the data on it to a recognised standard with certificates issued per asset, and disposing of or refurbishing it under electrical waste rules is normally the supplier's responsibility, and the residual value of what is collected is increasingly required to be credited back to the buyer rather than kept. A bid that prices the new hardware and not the removal of the old is incomplete against the specification it is answering.

A quarter of them allowed 18 days or fewer and a quarter stayed open for more than 33. 2 of them (33%) closed within a fortnight of being published, so on this market a bidder who reviews notices once a week can lose most of the response window before reading one.
