Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council procured a replacement Nutanix computing platform to support the safe continued operation of its council IT system. The requirement covers an upgraded, flexible platform together with associated hardware and software services. This is a technology infrastructure and IT support services requirement, including computer-related services. Delivery is associated with Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area. It would be relevant to suppliers able to design, supply and support Nutanix-based computing environments, integrate hardware and software, and provide the technical capability needed to maintain critical local-authority IT operations. The council was the buyer, with STAR Procurement involved in the procurement process.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Y23065 Framework. The contract was awarded to CDW Limited on 30 July 2026 after one bid was recorded. The active contract is valued at £1,342,365, inclusive of the stated contract value, and was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. There was one lot, evaluated on price, although the published lot status is cancelled while the associated award and contract are active. The procurement covers services under the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial council requirement for Nutanix platform replacement, associated hardware and software, and ongoing system support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven expertise in Nutanix computing, platform upgrades and flexible infrastructure design, alongside the ability to supply and integrate the related hardware and software. Experience supporting secure, business-critical public-sector or similarly complex IT environments would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Y23065 Framework and that price was the stated award basis. Larger technology providers or suitably capable framework partners are likely to be best placed to meet the scale and delivery demands.
