The Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner is looking to upgrade its computers. We are looking for HP branded machines with the following quantities and specifications:

15 x Laptops

HP: 15.6-inch Screen, Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD Hard Disk, Windows 11 Operating System (Windows Enterprise), HDMI Out, USB-C Dockable, NIC Port

5 x Mini Desktops

HP:  Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM,  500GB SSD Hard Disk, Windows 11 Operating System (Windows Enterprise), 3 x Display Port or 2 x Display and 1 HDMI Out Optional: 3 year - warranty

Only new units will be considered.

We would also like to have these machines pre-configured for our environment, so we do not have to autopilot them upon received.

Depending on cost, warranty and/or pre-configuration may not be pursued. As such, vendors are requested to break down their tender into 1) Unit Model(s) 2) Unit Cost 3) Warranty Cost (where applicable) 4) Pre-Configuration Cost

While unit cost is the most important consideration, the successful vendor will be selected based on best overall value when factoring the cost of the unit, warranty, and pre-configuration.

Attached competition document contains additional terms, and information including how tenders will be evaluated. Also contains an email explaining how tenders that do not meet minimum specifications will handled, how tenders that exceed specifications will be handled, and which specifications are non-negotiable.

The synopsis incorrectly states Windows 11 enterprise is required, this should say Windows 11 Pro.

The synopsis notes the processor spec as an Intel Core i7. It was pointed out that this series is end of life and has been replaced with the Core Ultra 7. Either series will deemed compliant with the specification in the tender.
