IT procurement in London —
vendor-direct, fast, accountable.
Servnet sources IT for London businesses directly from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, Fortinet, Pure Storage, Nutanix, NetApp, Apple and 40+ other authorised vendors — with delivery into EC2/EC3/E14 typically same-day and procurement paperwork ready for FCA, SRA, NHS DSPT or CCS framework sign-off. No middle layer, no margin stack, no surprises on the PO.
Why London businesses procure through Servnet
London buying cycles are short, regulators read your audit trail, and most City suppliers won't turn around a quote inside a working day. We built the procurement desk specifically for that environment.
Same-day delivery to the Square Mile
Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Cisco channel stock held in UK distribution centres ships into EC2/EC3 by courier the same day for orders placed before 11am — the courier window we plan against for City, Canary Wharf and Tech City clients.
FCA / SRA / DSPT-aligned paperwork
PO bundles include serial-level asset registers, sustainability declarations, conflict-mineral statements and supply-chain provenance — the documentation FCA-authorised firms in EC2/EC3 and SRA-regulated law firms in WC2 / EC4 need for their own internal sign-off.
CCS framework supply for Westminster
We sell into central government, GLA and London boroughs via Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud, Technology Services 4 and Cyber Security Services 4 frameworks — so Westminster, Whitehall and ALB procurement teams can buy compliantly without a tender.
Sustainability + scope-3 reporting
Carbon-disclosure data per line item — usable directly in a London-listed firm's CSRD / SECR submission or the GLA's low-carbon procurement reporting. We can also restrict bids to UK-LWF-aligned partners on request.
What our London procurement desk delivers
Multi-vendor quoting in hours, not weeks
A Dell PowerEdge R760 vs HPE DL380 Gen11 vs Lenovo SR650 V3 like-for-like comparison comes back within the working day — with London delivery windows, install services and 3/4/5-year warranty options costed in one document.
Pre-imaged + asset-tagged kit
Laptops, workstations and thin clients arrive at your London office bagged, asset-tagged, BitLocker-enrolled and joined to your Intune / JAMF / Workspace ONE tenancy — ready to hand to the user, no IT-desk involvement.
Weekend cutover deliveries
Servers, SAN arrays and network gear into Telehouse North/East/West, Equinix LD1–LD8, VIRTUS, Global Switch and Pulsant booked with security escort and out-of-hours access. We hold the engineer on standby for racking.
Trade-in + ITAD on the same PO
Outgoing kit collected from your London site under a chain-of-custody log, wiped to NCSC-aligned standards, residual value credited against the new PO. Closes the loop for ISO 14001 / SECR-reporting clients.
Bonded warehousing for stock + spares
We can hold customer-owned spares in UK bonded stock for next-day call-off into central London — useful for retail, hospitality, multi-site firms with floating refresh cycles.
Quarterly buying-pattern reviews
For mid-market and enterprise clients we run a quarterly look-back on every line item bought, surfacing standardisation savings, vendor consolidation opportunities and EOL exposure — usable input for the next CFO budget cycle.

How procurement actually works in London
Quote → PO in under a working day
For pre-existing accounts most PO requests come back in 3–4 hours. New accounts add a credit-check step but rarely push past 24 hours for sub-£50k orders. Larger CapEx (£100k+) gets a named bid manager.
Surrey HQ → London couriers daily
Stock leaves our Fetcham (KT22, J9 M25) HQ for City couriers daily. Most London postcodes are reachable same-day for orders confirmed before noon — including Saturday delivery windows on request.
Data-centre coordination for City racks
Direct courier dispatch into Telehouse, Equinix, VIRTUS and Global Switch London — we handle the DC access paperwork, security escort booking and racking timing. Engineers can attend during your change window.
Post-delivery handover that closes the audit loop
Every London delivery closes with a signed delivery note, serial-level asset register and disposal certificate (if a trade-in is involved). All documents live in a client portal — auditors can read-only access.
London procurement — common questions
Can you deliver to my City office same day?
Yes — for stocked items ordered before 11am UK time, courier into EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, E14 and most central London postcodes arrives the same working day. Items shipping direct from vendor (e.g. ProLiant builds) follow standard manufacturer lead time but we forewarn on every quote so there are no surprises.
Do you sell to FCA-authorised firms?
Yes — we supply a meaningful number of FCA-authorised firms across EC2/EC3 and Canary Wharf. Our PO documentation includes the supply-chain provenance, conflict-minerals declarations and supplier-risk attestation those firms need for their own SYSC 8 outsourcing oversight.
How does procurement work for a London public-sector body?
We sell via Crown Commercial Service frameworks (G-Cloud 14, Technology Services 4, Cyber Security Services 4) which covers GLA, London Councils, Met Police, central government and ALBs in Westminster. No tender required for orders under the framework spend limits — direct award with full call-off contract supplied by our bid team.
Can you take a 200-laptop fleet order and stage it from your warehouse?
Yes. We stage from the Surrey HQ — laptops arrive there imaged, asset-tagged and enrolled, then drip-feed to your London floors over an agreed rollout window. We've done 50–500 unit refreshes for City firms running this model.
Do you do the disposal side too?
Yes — ITAD collection from any London postcode, chain-of-custody log, WEEE-compliant disposal or wipe-and-resell with residual value credited against the new PO. Disposal certificates are issued per asset and aligned to NCSC sanitisation guidance.
How do you price against the big channel resellers (Computacenter, Softcat)?
Direct vendor relationships and a leaner cost base — we typically come in 4–9% cheaper on like-for-like specifications and notably faster on quoting. We don't throw bodies at every quote; we throw the right engineer at the right question.
