Summary of the contracting process

De Montfort University has completed a procurement process for the provision of VMWare assorted products and licensing aimed at supporting their data centre infrastructure, categorised under software package and information systems. This award stage procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, associated with the G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14). The awarding of the contract, valued at £746,255.04, was completed on 26 January 2026 and is intended to serve the UK region. This process falls outside the standard directive application and was signed with the supplier Logicalis UK Limited.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in the software and IT solutions industry, particularly those capable of supplying comprehensive products and licenses that can enhance data centre capabilities. Although Logicalis UK Limited was awarded the contract, understanding the needs of De Montfort University can provide insights for future similar opportunities. Businesses well-suited for such tenders include those experienced in IT infrastructure services, possessing relevant certifications, and having a footprint or strategy to cater to UK-based institutions. Participating in frameworks like G-Cloud can be advantageous for securing contracts in public sector procurement.
