CAE opens flash new HQ

Reseller CAE Technology Services has opened a new multi-million pound global HQ and warehouse facility in Hemel Hempstead which the reseller claims will “meet the needs of the CAE workforce in a post-pandemic environment”.

The Cisco, Dell and Microsoft partner bought the 30,000 sq. foot facility at the start of the pandemic and will host roughly a third of the company, plus more for events, and includes sustainability features such as solar panels, efficient lighting and electric car charging points.

Two IT frameworks seek resellers

Resellers are being sought for two IT frameworks.

The first, managed by KCS, is worth up to £400 million and caters for the procurement, refurbishment and disposal of hardware, including desktops, laptops, tablets, servers and storage.

Applications close on 18 September, with the four-year framework set to go live on 1 November 2020.

The framework will be split into four lots: IT Hardware; Remanufactured IT Hardware; Refurbished IT Hardware; and IT Hardware Repair, Disposal and Recycling.

The second framework is run by Crescent and is valued at £40 million.

The six lots are: Servers and Associated Equipment, Enterprise Storage, Back up and Archiving, Networking Equipment and Services, Security Hardware and Maintenance.

Contract notices are expected to be sent out in October, with the frameworks predecessor due to expire in January 2021, having gone live in 2017.

Suppliers on this iteration include CDW, CAE, Insight and Bechtle.
