Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex bought niche servers, together with associated five-year parts-only support and maintenance. The equipment is classified as information systems and servers. This is an IT hardware supply requirement, with support attached to the supplied servers. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Lewes, Sussex. The requirement was procured as one lot and relates to servers rather than a broader managed IT service. The buyer is a public authority responsible for policing and public safety in Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to XMA Ltd. The buyer used a limited further competition without prior publication of a call for competition. Three bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was on price alone, with award to the compliant supplier offering the lowest total evaluated price. The contract value is £122,385.32. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and covers five years of parts-only support and maintenance alongside the server supply. The sole lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the published outcome therefore identifies XMA Ltd as the awarded supplier and records an active contract.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand from Sussex Police, this award indicates a requirement for specialist server hardware supported by a five-year parts-only maintenance arrangement. A credible competitor would need to source and supply suitable niche servers, provide dependable parts support over the full support term, and price the combined offer competitively. The buyer selected the lowest-priced compliant offer, so clear compliance with the technical and support requirements would be essential alongside cost control. The award followed a further competition limited to invited suppliers and did not use a published open call. Businesses should therefore be equipped to supply comparable server systems and support through the buyer’s relevant procurement route, rather than relying on a general IT services offer.»} eos malembe 大发快三怎么看 北京赛车开ikarhi ataatsimi)))?
