Dell Computer

A University Strategic Alliance Partner for Computer Products

Dell Computer, an information-technology supplier and partner that offers a comprehensive portfolio of computing products and services, is the University sole source strategic contract supplier of Dell personal computers and related products and a Penn Marketplace participating supplier. In a strategic business partnership with Penn, the Dell direct business model allows Dell to build every system to order and offer Penn customers powerful, richly-configured systems.

About the Contract

The Dell strategic supplier contract is the result of a formally negotiated partnership between the University and Dell. The negotiated contract pricing available to faculty and staff has been benchmarked as best-in-class pricing in higher education. The University has realized significant product cost savings resulting from computer purchases from Dell.
