After thoughtful consideration and a thorough competitive proposal process (RFP #PSC-S-1606), Dell Technologies has been awarded the University of Colorado’s contract for computer equipment and related hardware, software, services and support.

This contract strengthens our existing, long-term and mutually beneficial relationship with Dell as one of our strategic partners.  Specifically, the contract establishes discounts for the categories mentioned above, in a way best suited to meet the needs of the university’s diverse community of users.  It further implements efficient and cost-effective business practices around lifecycle support, streamlines warranty and repair processes and maximizes value-added services.  Dell also promotes an impressive sustainability program throughout their products, services and supply chain, benefitting all of us at CU as well as the Call to Climate Action goals of the University.

The transition to this new contract will provide a seamless experience for CU staff with the process for purchasing from Dell Technologies remaining unchanged through our CU Marketplace.  Our direct contact remains unchanged, and Ashley Delgado encourages anyone with sales or quote questions to reach out to her at Ashley_Delgado@dell.com or (512) 513-9777.  Questions about this contract or related purchases through the CU Marketplace should go to the PSC Service Center at psc@cu.edu or (303) 837-2161.  This new contract became effective as of April 2023 with an initial term of three years, with the possibility to extend for up to, two additional one year terms.
