Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (RHUL) in Egham, United Kingdom, awarding a contract to the Wavenet Group for VMWare Software Licences. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category (CPV: 48000000) and is located in the South East of England. The procurement stage is at the "Award" phase, having been awarded on 25th July 2025, with the contract period running from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026. This procurement was carried out using an "Other" procurement method, as a variation under the CCS Framework RM6100 Technology Services Lot 3b, with a contract value of £71,264.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services and solutions, particularly those with a focus on software packages and licensing. While the direct award to a large supplier like Wavenet Group suggests that current SMEs might not have been suitable for this particular process, there could be ancillary opportunities in support services or subcontracting. Businesses looking to expand within the government IT sector in the UK could benefit from exploring similar frameworks or developing strategic partnerships that align with RHUL's procurement strategy and needs.
