Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS), located in Newport, Wales, has completed the procurement process for the renewal of the Citrix Netscaler support and licence agreement for 2026. This tender falls under the "Computer supplies" industry category and involves the provision of ADC VPX/BLX Software Subscription at a premium rate of 5Gbps, with the contract running from 26th June 2026 to 25th June 2027. The procurement method was selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, and Probrand, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Birmingham, has secured the award valued at GBP 16,616.12. This process entered the award stage as of 16th June 2026.

This tender creates a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in IT support and software services, to engage in long-term contracts with government bodies like the ONS. Businesses capable of delivering high-performance computer supplies and services would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The framework agreement approach favours reliable suppliers with the ability to meet specified criteria, allowing successful bidders to enhance their market position and develop strategic partnerships within the public sector. Such procurement avenues can serve as entry points into government contracts, which often offer stability and opportunities for expansion.
