Are you on the major UK public-sector frameworks?

Take 2 Technology supplies through several council direct-award arrangements and is registered on G-Cloud for IT hardware lots. If your authority procures via a specific framework not listed, we can usually accommodate via a re-seller arrangement — talk to us before tender close.

Question 2

Can you supply asset-tagged + pre-configured devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Devices ship with your asset register IDs printed and attached, pre-configured for your site Wi-Fi or paired with a SIM. We've done this for councils with 20+ leisure sites and library services with 80+ branches.

Question 3

What about PCI compliance for council reception payments?

Accepted Answer

All chip-and-PIN terminals we supply are on the current PCI PTS-listed product list. We can recommend acquirer-approved configurations for the major UK acquirers (Worldpay, Barclays, Lloyds, etc.). You're still responsible for completing your PCI SAQ — we don't act as your QSA.

Question 4

Do you support framework purchase terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes — net-30 / net-60 terms, PO billing, multi-site delivery split, framework markup compliance. Standard trade account terms cover most public-sector procurement scenarios.

Question 5

What is the typical lead time on a multi-site rollout?

Accepted Answer

Standard kit (under 100 devices) ships within 5 working days. Asset-tagging and per-site pre-configuration adds 3-7 working days. Full multi-site planned rollouts of 200+ devices typically take 4-6 weeks end to end.

Question 6

Can we hire devices for short-term needs (e.g. event ticketing)?

Accepted Answer

Yes — short-term hire is available for events, summer activities, election polling support and similar short-duration deployments. Kit ships ready-to-use and we collect at end of hire.
