The reality
When IT procurement becomes the project bottleneck.
Three things we hear at every IT procurement review. Each one is solvable, none of them needs a year-long transformation programme. Most can be fixed before your next quarterly hardware refresh lands.
Procurement cycles kill the project plan.
The new starter joins on Monday. The laptop arrives the following Friday. The networking kit is on a boat from Singapore. Every project slips on the same thing.
✓
250+ SKUs in stock. Next-day provisioning. Imaged and ready.
Overpaying without a strategic partner.
Buying direct through vendor portals at retail tier. Three departments negotiating their own deals. Finance can't reconcile the spend against the asset register.
✓
Authorised Dell, Cisco and Lenovo pricing tiers · one consolidated invoice.
No visibility, no control over device lifecycle.
Devices land at reception. Asset tagging happens when someone gets around to it. Old kit piles up in a cupboard. Disposal is whoever's car is biggest that month.
✓
Lifecycle managed end-to-end. Certified disposal · audit-ready evidence.

Case study · Windows 11 rollout
Amber Infrastructure: a global Windows 11 rollout, ahead of Windows 10 end-of-support.
Amber Infrastructure · global investment manager · 180+ professionals · UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand
From hybrid-joined inconsistency to a Windows 11, cloud-native estate, delivered low-risk and in phases.
Amber Infrastructure is a global investment manager with 180+ professionals across the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. With Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, they needed a low-risk path to standardise their device fleet on Windows 11, clean up hybrid-joined inconsistencies, and modernise device management. Transputec ran a phased Microsoft Intune and Autopilot deployment with onsite, remote and early-life support, delivering a Windows 11-ready, cloud-native EUC environment.
"Their expertise and support were vital in upgrading our devices to Windows 11 ahead of the Windows 10 cut-off date. They delivered the work cost-efficiently and with as little disruption to users as possible."

Frequently asked
Answers to what UK IT leaders ask us most.
What is IT procurement?
IT procurement is the end-to-end process of sourcing, buying, deploying and managing the hardware and licences a UK business runs on: laptops, desktops, servers, networking, peripherals and the contracts behind them. A good UK IT procurement partner combines direct vendor relationships with Dell, Cisco, Lenovo, HP and Microsoft, stock holding, asset-tagging, secure provisioning, on-site deployment and lifecycle management through to certified disposal. See our device lifecycle management service for the full picture, or Microsoft’s Windows 11 overview for the platform readiness side.
What is Device as a Service (DaaS)?
Device as a Service (DaaS) is a subscription model that bundles hardware, deployment, support and refresh into a single per-user, per-month fee. Instead of capital-expensing laptops every 3 to 4 years, UK organisations pay an operating cost that covers procurement, secure provisioning, in-life support, replacement on failure and end-of-life disposal. Transputec DaaS is built on Dell, Lenovo and HP fleets, with refresh cycles tuned to your business, typically 36 months for knowledge workers, 48 for general office. See NCSC device security guidance for the security baseline we configure to.
How can IT procurement save my business money?
Three ways. First, direct vendor pricing: as an authorised partner of Dell, Cisco and Lenovo we access tiers that aren’t available to direct retail buyers. Second, lifecycle management: extending useful life, deploying refurbished where appropriate, and certifying secure disposal so devices retain residual value. Third, eliminating shadow-IT spend: consolidating fragmented departmental buying into one accountable contract with quarterly cost reviews. Most UK mid-market estates see a 12 to 28% reduction in total hardware spend within 12 months. See our Windows 11 rollout for Amber Infrastructure for a worked example.
What is device lifecycle management?
Device lifecycle management is the practice of running every IT device, from order to retirement, under one accountable process. It covers procurement, secure imaging and provisioning, asset tagging, deployment, in-life support, repair and replacement, and certified end-of-life data destruction and recycling under UK GDPR. Done well, it eliminates stock-room sprawl, gives finance a clean asset register, and keeps your ISO 27001 evidence pack always audit-ready. Learn about our full device lifecycle management service or read the ICO’s data deletion guidance.
Why use an IT procurement partner instead of buying direct?
Direct buying through a vendor portal solves the purchase order, not the deployment, the configuration, the asset register, the joiner-mover-leaver workflow, the failure replacement, or the secure disposal at end-of-life. An IT procurement partner like Transputec wraps all of those into a single contract with one UK account manager, direct vendor pricing tiers, and stock on the shelf. The headline price might be similar; the total cost of ownership for UK organisations is meaningfully lower. See our managed IT services pillar for how procurement integrates with the wider IT operation.
How quickly can you ship devices?
To support rapid deployment, we offer bonded stock holding against customer accounts in our UK depot. Devices are prepared to your requirements, including imaging, configuration, and asset tagging to your CMDB, before dispatch. Delivery times depend on order volume, device availability, configuration requirements, and destination, with real-time order visibility available through our customer portal.
How much does IT procurement cost in the UK?
UK IT procurement pricing has three common shapes. Per-device hardware is competitive against retail because we access partner-tier pricing and pass it through, with our margin on the deployment and lifecycle wrap. Per-user, per-month DaaS typically runs from £25 to £55 depending on device class and support tier, covering hardware refresh, secure imaging, in-life support and certified disposal. Project-based deployments for hardware refreshes or office openings are scoped per Statement of Work against UK day-rate norms. See our Device as a Service page for indicative DaaS bands, or speak to us for a quote against your estate.
Are you ISO 27001 certified and on UK public-sector frameworks?
Yes. Transputec is ISO 27001 certified for information security management, Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, and a Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework supplier, with UK GDPR-aligned data handling throughout. All UK device imaging and provisioning happens in our London facility under those controls. Read the ISO 27001 standard, the G-Cloud 14 framework, and our full UK certifications list.
