Issue details

Ipswich Borough Council has a requirement to provide suitable ICT equipment for its employees where applicable to their role. To enable agile working, business-class laptops have been identified as the most appropriate equipment for the current environment.

The pandemic has been a contributing factor to many supply line problems in the ICT industry. This, coupled with an increased level of demand for equipment due to higher amounts of home-working has meant procurement of these items is especially difficult at the moment.
