Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Continuation of Nutanix Hardware & Software Support Services" was initiated by Leicester City Council, a sub-central public authority located in Leicester, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to repair, maintenance services, and software package systems, and was completed under a limited competition procurement method, categorised as below threshold. The procurement involved services to be delivered in the region of UKF21, running from 11th August 2025 to 31st March 2027. The tender process reached its award stage on 4th August 2025, and the contract has been awarded to Sofcat PLC, a large supplier based in Buckinghamshire.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in IT support services, repair, maintenance, and information systems. Organisations with expertise in hardware and software support, especially those with experience or capacity to service public sector clients, would find this scope ideal. Given the limited competition and below-threshold nature of the procurement method, smaller enterprises and start-ups in the technology services industry may also find success by leveraging their specialised skills and flexible service models.
