Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "VMWare Support and Maintenance 2024-2025" was conducted by Southern Housing, based in London, England. This IT services contract, with a classification under CPV code 72000000, completed the award stage. The procurement involved a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, which streamlined the process. Key dates include the tender period's end on 5th January 2024, and the contract period from 26th February 2024 to 25th February 2025. The services will be delivered across the London and South East regions of the United Kingdom, with the total contract value amounting to £64,660.80.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for SMEs, such as Bytes Software Services Limited, who was the awarded supplier. The focus on IT services and the use of a direct procurement method potentially reduce barriers for smaller companies looking to engage with public contracts. Businesses specialising in consulting, software development, Internet services, and support are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities, particularly if they can demonstrate robust expertise in IT maintenance and support services similar to VMWare applications.
