Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire is seeking to renew its license for 250 concurrent users of VMware Horizon 8 standard/Modern License equivalent. This procurement process falls under the "services" category within the software management industry, with an estimated contract value ranging between £45,000 and £60,000 GBP. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the deadline for tender submissions is set for 17 September 2024 at 12:00 PM BST. The subsequent contract period will commence on 22 September 2024 and conclude on 23 September 2027. The services are to be delivered in the East of England, specifically to Luton with postal code LU1 3JU.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in license management software and virtualisation technologies, particularly those familiar with VMware products. Given the non-recurrent nature of this procurement, businesses that can provide a competitive and comprehensive solution to the University's needs will be well-placed to secure the contract. While the tender is not restricted to SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with a proven track record in similar projects may find this an advantageous chance to expand their operations and establish a partnership with a prominent academic institution.
