Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Hardware - VMWare Servers," initiated by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys, has reached the award stage. This selective procurement, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement in the goods category, specifically focuses on servers (CPV code: 48820000). The procurement encompasses the supply of VMware Infrastructure Servers, valued at £634,409. The contract is set to commence on 24th July 2026 and conclude by 30th September 2026, with delivery to be made in Wales, United Kingdom. The relevant procurement ended its tender period on 10th July 2026, and the award was published on 22nd July 2026.

This tender presents a valuable business growth opportunity, primarily for large enterprises with capabilities in IT infrastructure and server provision, given its selective nature and substantial contract value. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were not the primary focus for suitability, businesses with established experience in fulfilling framework agreements would find an advantageous environment to leverage their expertise and expand their market presence. Centerprise International Ltd, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the contract through its competitive bidding, reflecting substantial demand and prospects for other similar enterprises in the sector.
