Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured replacement infrastructure for its virtual desktop environment, based on Nutanix technology. The requirement is primarily for goods, with associated software support services and an IT software package. Delivery is for the Trust’s site on Edwards Lane in Nottingham, serving the East Midlands. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of virtual desktop infrastructure, Nutanix platforms, integrated data-centre or end-user computing systems, and related software support. It concerns replacement of an existing VDI infrastructure rather than a general IT support requirement, so businesses should be able to supply and support a complete Nutanix-based environment for an NHS hospital organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 26 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 27 March 2026. CDW LIMITED was awarded the contract for £95,666.22 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 March 2026 to 15 February 2031. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The published suitability assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This was a single requirement for the replacement VDI infrastructure, with the award covering the full stated contract value and period.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined NHS demand for Nutanix-based virtual desktop infrastructure replacement, combining hardware or infrastructure supply with software support. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in designing, supplying and supporting Nutanix VDI environments, including migration or replacement of existing infrastructure and reliable operation in a hospital setting. Experience supporting enterprise or NHS customers, strong manufacturer or framework relationships, and the capacity to provide sustained technical support would strengthen a competing offer. The recorded assessment favoured established suppliers over smaller or voluntary-sector providers, indicating that scale and delivery capacity are important for this buyer and requirement.
