Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the awarding of a contract for "IBM Support VMWare" by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), situated in London, United Kingdom. This contract, classified under Information Technology Services, was completed with a total value of £38,058.61. The procurement method employed was a limited competitive quotation, which concluded its tender period on 9 June 2021, with the contract period running from 11 June 2021 to 10 June 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering support solutions for VMware systems. Companies looking to expand their service offerings in this sector, especially those that comply with the requirements of government procurement, would be well-suited to pursue future contracts with MHRA. The established relationship with the current supplier, Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, suggests that becoming a competitive alternative would require distinct value propositions or innovations in service delivery.
