D-Tech ranked number-one by APUC for self-service laptop lockers

We are proud to announce that we have been appointed to the Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) framework for the supply of Library Equipment, Software and Maintenance (LIB1021 AP).

This includes being ranked 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 our popular all-in-one SMART locker solution for universities. 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 and lending, or a reservations collection point.

We are thrilled to be working with APUC
