Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has recently completed a procurement process for VMware ROBO Packs and Renewals, classified under the services category. The contract, awarded under an open procedure, has a total value of £285,699 and was signed on 8th June 2021. Located in Livingston, the council has a mandate to provide general public services and was looking for a compliant route to market through the Scottish Procurement's Software Value Added Reseller Framework. The contract was crucial for renewing VMware licences that had expired, thereby ensuring continued support and management of technology platforms.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for businesses engaged in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software licensing and management solutions. Companies similar to Softcat Plc, which has successfully secured this contract, might find it valuable to consider partnerships or similar frameworks within the public sector. As the procurement involved a direct award to a single supplier, other businesses in the IT field could explore avenues to provide complementary services, ensuring they align with local authority requirements and leverage their capabilities in software solutions to engage in future tenders.
