D-Tech International has been appointed to the Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) framework for the supply of Library Equipment, Software and Maintenance (LIB1021 AP).
Notably, APUC, which is the procurement centre of expertise for all of Scotland’s Universities and Colleges, has ranked D-Tech as the number-one contractor for Lot 3 – Self-Service Charging Lockers and Lot 4 – Self-Service Software.
These services are offered as part of D-Tech’s popular all-in-one SMART locker solution. The modular, multi-bay design allows for the simple addition of new lockers of any SMART capability as and when they are needed, whether it’s for device charging, RFID self-checkout, media-vending, or a reservations collection point.
James Breakell, Managing Director of D-Tech International (UK), said: “We’re thrilled to be working with APUC. This is a competitive achievement that truly demonstrates our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, versatile technology solutions to the education sector.
“As institutions look to support more students in accessing digital devices, our SMART Charge lockers have never been more in demand. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to support APUC members with a much more efficient route to procure the services they need.”
