THE SUSTAINABLE IT PROCUREMENT STRATEGY FOR YOUR ORGANISATION - AVAILABLE THROUGH FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR THE IRISH PUBLIC SECTOR
Sustainable IT for a circular economy
Within government, ICT has been proven to be a key component for any solution to the global climate crisis. Procuring carbon neutral remanufactured laptops means your organisation will be one step closer to achieving 'net zero' carbon emissions.
Our remanufactured HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops are already at the centre of the circular economy and are up to 40% lower cost, which immediately benefits public resources and planetary reserves.
PROCURE REMANUFACTURED WITH CONFIDENCE
Our laptops all go through the same BSI Kitemark™ certified Circular Remanufacturing Process, meaning every laptop has a complete inside-and-out refresh - guaranteeing consistent premium quality in large volumes with every laptop.
The awarding of the BSI Kitemark certifies that our process produces products 'equal to or better than new' as required by the BS standard BS8887-220 and BS8887-211.

Become part of the sustainability story
More and more public sector organisations are seeing carbon neutral remanufactured laptops as a crucial part of their IT solution.
We have been able to demonstrate that we are a proven alternative to purchasing new, working with many local councils, government departments and agencies across the UK and Ireland.
CASE STUDY
UK Public Sector
Like the Irish public sector, the UK has many ambitious targets to achieve net zero. We’re proud to have helped many organisations in the UK public sector achieve their IT procurement and sustainability goals. From health care to defence and justice, to education, local authorities and national parks, we’ve supported a wide range of government departments, agencies and authorities lower their carbon emissions.
Each Circular Computing remanufactured laptop avoids 1,200kgs of previous resources from being mined, saves 190,000 litres of waters and avoids 316 kgs of carbon emissions by not buying new. This has helped organisations like the Ministry of Defence contribute to their Net Zero 2050 ambition.
THE EAST OF ENGLAND AMBULANCE SERVICE HAS SOLVED THEIR TRIPLE CORPORATE, OPERATIONAL AND IT PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES IN ONE PACKAGE VIA CIRCULAR COMPUTING.
The price point, being below what was previously available to them, has delivered significant cost savings. This was a key factor alongside performance, quality and availability. In addition, this sustainable IT procurement contributes to the NHS’s overarching Sustainability Strategy of embedding sustainability in procurement decisions and decarbonising their supply chain.
Neil Godfrey, Deputy Chief Information Officer of EEAST stated:
“We will increase efficiency and effectiveness in purchasing and logistics so that we can provide the best possible value for money and maximise the amount spent on direct patient care.”

THE EAST OF ENGLAND AMBULANCE SERVICE HAS SOLVED THEIR TRIPLE CORPORATE, OPERATIONAL AND IT PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES IN ONE PACKAGE VIA CIRCULAR COMPUTING.
This innovative collaboration is not just about digital inclusion; it’s about doing so sustainably, ethically, and with determination. It’s about choosing remanufactured tech - equal to or better than new - and drastically reducing CO2 emissions, water extraction and resource mining.
Kent County Council were delivered a bespoke product sourced for the project – a Lenovo Yoga 11e. The laptops were remanufactured and sent to KCC’s reseller warehouse for dispatch to the end user directly.
“Digital Kent’s scheme, as part of our Financial Hardship programme showcases our commitment to supporting the people of Kent currently facing digital exclusion. It’s been a tough few years for residents and we wanted to make sure we reach as many individuals as possible through our projects. Partnering with Circular Computing has enabled us to do just that with better value devices as well as helping Kent be more sustainable.”

CASE STUDY
KINGS COLLEGE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
After a successful initial trial to ensure compliance with performance, quality and network compatibility, King’s College Hospital Foundation trust decided to rent 400 dell latitude laptops.
The solution from Circular Computing not only excelled against the demands in terms of operational performance and cost savings, but the sustainability benefits enabled a significant reduction in their environmental impact and carbon footprint. Circular Computing also implemented provision of an onsite Advanced Replacement Warranty pool of laptops, ensuring maximum uptime during training.
Significant cost savings were made, laptops were delivered on time and performed as expected with no operational down time for the 12,000 staff that were trained. In addition, this sustainable IT procurement contributes to the NHS’s Green Plan and Net Zero 2045 ambition for Scope 3 emissions.
Julie Dinning, ICT Operations Manager of Kings College Hospital Foundation Trust stated:
"Working together with procurement and operations, we secured a really good deal for the Hospital and this meant we could redeploy budget and resources into other key projects that enable us to deliver excellence in patient care. Circular Computing were a pleasure to deal with and accommodated our tight deadline."

Covered by our return to base warranty
A 1-year return to base (RTB) warranty is offered as standard on all our remanufactured laptop models, which can be increased to a 3-year warranty on the core models.
We will ensure a replacement is sent out the next working day; working from home or in the office, we’ll get them up and running again with minimal downtime.
Providing social value through IT
The way we address procurement for the public sector, much like the rest of our company, is based within the circular economy and with one thing in mind: sustainability; without compromising quality.
With our unique remanufacturing process, when you want to upgrade or change to newer machines, we can take back the previous products to begin the remanufacturing process all over again.
Our remanufactured laptops are certified carbon neutral plus, helping reduce your organisation's carbon footprint and contribute towards Ireland’s Climate Act of net zero by 2050' and can be included in an organisation's Scope 3 report.
We also invest into reforestation, carbon reduction and clean energy projects that create significant social value, in-keeping with environmental policies that pass on to your organisation.
