Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth University, a public authority operating as a sub-central government entity in Poole, United Kingdom, recently completed a procurement process to secure "NetApp Support" services. This tender, under the procurement ID IT/OS/433, involved the 16-month renewal of support services for IT needs, classified under IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method, allowing for below-threshold competition, and culminated in a contract award to Logicalis UK, a large supplier based in West Berkshire. The procurement stage is now at the contract stage, with the contract active as of 1 August 2025 and set to end on 30 November 2026. Key documentation for the contract was published on 5 August 2025.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in consulting, software development, and technical support. The focused procurement process, characterised by limited competition, favours well-established companies with the agility to meet specific client requirements, such as those offered by educational institutions like Bournemouth University. Businesses aiming to expand their footprint within the education sector or seeking to consolidate their IT service portfolios could find growth potential by targeting similar opportunities. Additionally, firms capable of navigating sub-central government procurement processes will be well-positioned to secure such contracts in the future.
