The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has completed a procurement process titled "Improve Storage Resilience and VM Hardware," classified under the industry category of hardware (CPV 44316400). This tender sought to acquire hardware to bolster the existing VMware environment for the integration and hosting of Genomics services. The location for this procurement is London (postal code E14 4PU), United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in hardware, particularly those with solutions for enhancing storage resilience and VM hardware integration.
