Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has recently completed the procurement process for a one-year renewal of VMware services, specifically involving VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSphere ESXi, and VMware vSphere with Tanzu, across 16 servers totalling 384 cores. This contract falls under the "Servers" industry category and is classified as a services procurement. The project, valued at £36,387.84, utilises an open procedure method. The key dates include the tender period's end on 16th September 2024, the contract award date on 19th September 2024, and the contract's duration from 30th September 2024 to 29th September 2025. The project services are to be delivered in England, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology infrastructure and cloud services. While the awarded supplier, Softcat plc, is a large-scale organisation, the contract highlights the potential for companies with expertise in VMware solutions to engage in similar future tenders. Enterprises that can provide comprehensive, scalable IT solutions, especially in server management and virtualisation, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts executed by public bodies like Cumberland Council. This is a chance to showcase one's capabilities in delivering high-quality IT services within the UK public sector.
