Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Camden procured renewal of its Nutanix hardware and software subscription arrangements for its core on-premises infrastructure. The requirement covers support and licensing for a Nutanix hyper-converged storage solution hosting the Council’s on-premises IT workloads. The purpose is to maintain continuity of service, vendor support coverage, security updates and resilience for systems hosted in the Council’s datacentre environment. This is an IT services requirement covering software support, licensing and related infrastructure support. Delivery is identified in the United Kingdom, for the Council’s IT estate. The buying organisation is London Borough of Camden, a local authority based in London. The requirement is focused on maintaining and supporting an existing Nutanix platform rather than delivering a new infrastructure implementation.

The procurement has been awarded, with an active award to CDW UK and a contract recorded as signed on 28 July 2026. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement used a price-only evaluation basis and recorded one bid. Reported valid bid values ranged from £190,000 to £240,000 for the related requirement; the overall reported range was £190,000 to £235,000. The procurement was for one lot covering Nutanix hyper-converged storage support and licensing. The tender record marks that lot as cancelled, while the award is recorded as active. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the stated rationale refers to securing the most economically advantageous tender.

This requirement indicates continuing demand from London Borough of Camden for specialist support of an established Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure platform. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would understand Nutanix licensing and support models, on-premises datacentre environments, storage for production IT workloads and the operational importance of platform continuity. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate that they can maintain vendor support coverage, provide security updates and help preserve resilience across systems hosted on the existing estate. Experience supporting live infrastructure, managing subscription or licence renewals and responding reliably to service needs would be relevant. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the capacity to support an authority’s core infrastructure environment at substantial scale.
