Trading Statement

Computacenter PLC
09 January 2006




For immediate release                                             9 January 2006



                            Pre-Close Trading Update


It has been Computacenter's practice to make a pre-close trading update
statement ahead of entering its close period following the year end. However,
Computacenter has been in an offer period since the announcement of 18 November
2005 and, as a result, its ability to make such an update statement is
constrained by a requirement to have the Company's auditors examine and report
on the trading update.



Accordingly, Computacenter will not make a pre-close trading update at this time
but expects to provide an estimate of 2005 profits as soon as the auditors have
completed their review, later in January 2006, together with an update on the
progress of the offer discussions.



Computacenter will announce its preliminary results for the year ending 31
December 2005 on Tuesday, 14 March 2006.
