For immediate release                                           18 November 2005


              Computacenter PLC ("Computacenter" or "the Company")
                  Statement regarding movement in share price


The Board of Computacenter notes the recent movement in Computacenter's share
price and confirms that it has received a preliminary proposal, which may or may
not lead to an offer being made for the whole of the issued and to be issued
share capital of the Company. The proposal has been made by a group led by Peter
Ogden, a co-founder and non-executive director of the Company (the "Bid Group").
The Bid Group controls in aggregate 44.2% of the Company.

An Independent Committee of the Board has been formed to consider the proposal,
consisting of Nick Cosh and Cliff Preddy (the independent non-executive
directors). The Independent Committee is being advised by HSBC Bank plc.

Discussions are at an early stage and the Independent Committee of the Board of
Computacenter would like to emphasise that there is no certainty that any offer
will be made for Computacenter.

A further announcement will be made when appropriate.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
"Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Computacenter, all "dealings
" in any "relevant securities" of that company (including by means of an option
in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities")
must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.  This
requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is
declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or
on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.  If two or more persons act together
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to
acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Computacenter, they will be
deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Computacenter by an offeror or Computacenter, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London
time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities.  In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
