Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics bought the renewal of its Citrix NetScaler support, software licence and maintenance agreement. The requirement covers ADC VPX/BLX software subscriptions under a fixed model, with Premium support and 5Gbps capacity, together with the Citrix NetScaler software licence and maintenance renewal for 2026/27. This is a computer-supplies requirement, classified under CPV 30237300, and the main procurement category is goods. Delivery is to the United Kingdom, for the Office for National Statistics. The requirement is therefore relevant to technology suppliers that provide Citrix NetScaler licensing, application delivery controller software, associated maintenance and vendor or specialist support services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Probrand was awarded the contract on 16 June 2026 for £16,616.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 26 June 2026 to 25 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 11:00. The estimated tender value was also £16,616.12 GBP. One supplier is identified as awarded. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award was made for the Citrix NetScaler renewal described above. The outcome records Probrand as the active supplier for the contract.

This award shows a defined public-sector requirement for Citrix NetScaler application delivery controller software, fixed-model ADC VPX/BLX subscriptions, Premium support and 5Gbps capacity. Competitors seeking similar work with the Office for National Statistics would need credible access to the relevant Citrix licensing and renewal routes, together with the capability to maintain the software and provide dependable technical support throughout the agreement. Experience managing enterprise application delivery infrastructure, licensing administration, maintenance renewals and support arrangements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was suitable for an SME, indicating that specialist technology businesses can be credible providers where they can demonstrate the required product knowledge, commercial route to supply and capacity to support the buyer’s environment.
