Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is seeking to enhance its IT infrastructure through a project titled "VDI Expansion (Desktop Anywhere)", which involves the construction and commissioning of a new Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) POD at the Leicester Royal Infirmary site. This direct award tender, classified under the CPV codes for computer-related equipment and information systems, had a total contract value of £413,044 and was completed on 25th May 2018. The procurement process entered the award stage on 1st March 2018, with significant dates including the tender end date of 28th February 2018 and the publication of the award notice on 2nd July 2018.

This opportunity provides a potential growth avenue for businesses that specialise in IT services, particularly those offering solutions in virtualisation and desktop technologies. Given the direct nature of the procurement method, larger firms like Softcat plc, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrated the ability to meet the specific requirements set forth by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Companies focused on similar IT service provisions should consider initiatives targeting NHS contracts as prospects for expansion, especially those geared towards health sector technology enhancements.
