Dell delivery lead times
PC Desktops and Laptops - Supplier Agreement Update
The new Desktop and Laptop Framework was awarded to DELL in February 2022.
The Latitude Laptop and the Optiplex Desktop specifications and prices have largely remained unchanged for Trinity. There is a new option to include 5 Year Accidental Damage cover with your purchase – this is in addition to the 5 Year Hardware Warranty. The Dell Trinity Premier Page has been updated to reflect the new framework and includes the latest informatin on the delivery lead times.
Due to continuing global supply chain issues for IT components we are still strongly recommending that orders are placed as soon as possible for any upcoming desktop or laptop requirements due to variable lead times.

Due to the global silicon supply shortage, we are experiencing significant lead times for the delivery of new IT equipment from Dell.
We have been working with Dell on this issue, as it is predicted that the problem will last for the next 6 months.
The Dell Premier Pages will be kept up-to-date with the latest information on delivery lead times but as of September 2021 the following information is correct:
Laptops
Please see the below table for an indication of laptop delivery times.

| Latitude 5420 - 14" notebook | |
| Latitude 5520 - 15.6" notebook | |
| Latitude Docking Station - WD19S |
*Latitude 5420 and 5520 models are available with HD (1366x768) Non-Touch, Anti-Glare, TN, 220nits, WLAN, HD Camera screen only. The FHD screen option is no longer on the Dell Premier Page for these laptops as the delivery lead time is currently +3 months.
Dell has offered us stocked build laptops that are available for delivery on an 8 working day lead time.
The availability and specification of these stocked builds can vary based on when the request is raised. The technical specifications, of the stocked builds, cannot be changed at the time of order. If there is an urgent requirement, the Dell account manager can advise on options available.
Desktops
The Desktop Optiplex 5080 is also experiencing a delivery delay of around 4 weeks. The new Desktop Optiplex 5090 model is due for release mid-July and we expect that when it is available the standard delivery timeline will return to 2 weeks.
The new Desktop Optiplex 5090 model is now available. Please see the below table for an indication of desktop delivery times.

The 23" and 27" monitors are available on a 5 week (27" Monitor) and 7 week (23" Monitor) delivery lead time. (24" Monitors are currently only available on a 12 week delivery lead time). These monitor models include an HDMI port, DisplayPort, VGA port and come with a stand, power cable and a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
Wireless keyboards and mice
These items are currently out of stock and unavailable from Dell. The expectation is that new models will be available to order by the start of July.
These items are in stock and available with a 2-week standard delivery time.
We want to encourage good, early planning and ordering for any new Dell equipment in the coming months.
