Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia has completed a procurement process titled "PURCON 2180- Server Virtualisation Software" under the industry category of system management software package, located in Norwich, England. This contract was awarded as a selective call-off from the SUPC SLRA Framework, Lot 4, with a total value of £220,149 to Academia Ltd. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, having concluded on 21st July 2025, with the contract set to commence on 1st August 2025 and run through to 31st July 2028. This process supports the management and configuration of the university’s digital landscape, an essential aspect for educational institutions seeking optimal operational efficiency.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in system management software solutions, particularly those with expertise in server virtualisation tools. Although this call-off was executed via a framework agreement, highlighting Academia Ltd as the supplier, similar future opportunities may arise for businesses already equipped to enter selective procurement processes. Large companies with established reputations and those capable of meeting technical standards and delivery requirements would find these tenders particularly suitable. As the high-tech needs of educational institutions grow, businesses with innovative virtualisation solutions stand to benefit significantly.
