Public Health England (PHE) has signed up the Stone Group to supply 6,200 Toshiba and Lenovo devices.
The deal was done through the Technology Products 2 framework – it will see the agency migrate its 5,500 staff to Windows 10 devices ahead of the January 2020 end-of-support date for its current Windows 7 devices.
Technology Products 2 is set to expire this October. Its organiser, Crown Commercial Service, is running a series of workshops this month as it consults on its successor Technology Products 3 framework.
Simon Pettit, corporate director at Stone Group, said: “As one of the only UK-based IT solutions providers for the public sector with its manufacturing facility on site, Stone has proven experience in delivering large-scale device rollouts that are ready to go straight out of the box on delivery.
“This means we are well placed to help PHE transition to the new Windows 10 devices seamlessly. For PHE, this was a real game changer, and eased their decision to choose Stone as their preferred supplier.”
