Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has completed the procurement process for the renewal of the Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) license and its maintenance. This procurement, which falls under the services category, specifically targeting software package and IT services, has been conducted through a direct procurement method, bypassing competition due to it being below the threshold. The contract, valued at £35,437.92, runs from 30th June 2025 to 29th June 2028. The awarded supplier is Celerity, an SME based in Preston, UK. The final contract was signed on 29th June 2025, with the award being active and matching the location region UKJ34.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses operating in IT services and software management. SMEs with expertise in data centre management solutions and software maintenance would particularly benefit from competing for similar contracts, even if competition was limited in this instance due to the below-threshold nature of the procurement. Potential suppliers should be attentive to sub-central government opportunities, particularly those seeking public sector engagement as the Isle of Wight Council often seeks streamlined and practical solutions to public authority IT requirements.
