Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust procured replacement of its virtual server infrastructure. The work covers infrastructure replacement and is split between capital purchasing and recurrent costs. It is network infrastructure work, classified under CPV 32424000, delivered for the Trust in the Warrington area. The requirement is focused on replacing the Trust’s virtual server environment rather than a broader IT services programme.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Trust used a selective route through a call-off from a framework agreement. CDW Limited was selected on 1 August 2026, with an award value of £1,159,716.74. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 11 August 2031. The procurement was categorised as services, and the stated scope separates capital purchasing from recurrent costs. The response deadline was 1 August 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar future infrastructure replacement work for this Trust, the award indicates demand for a substantial virtual server infrastructure refresh, with both capital purchasing and recurring costs included. A credible competitor would need to deliver the replacement infrastructure and support the related ongoing cost model, rather than offering only an isolated equipment sale or unrelated IT services. The Trust used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to compete through relevant framework arrangements. The selection of a large supplier and the stated lack of suitability for SMEs point to a requirement of scale that may favour established providers able to manage the infrastructure replacement and its associated recurring commitments.
