## Summary

The Home Office, located in London, is seeking to provision Red Hat software licences as part of its public procurement process. This contract, valued at approximately £390,328, has been awarded following a selective procurement method, which involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 31 July 2019 to 30 July 2021, with the procurement process officially concluded on 26 July 2019 when the tender period ended. The contract falls under the IT software package category, specifically designed to enhance Police Live Services.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in IT services and software solutions. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) are encouraged to compete, as the tender is well-suited for smaller firms capable of delivering software licences and associated services. Businesses that can demonstrate competencies in Red Hat products, as well as advantages in competitive pricing and service delivery, will be well-positioned to engage in future tenders of similar nature by governmental bodies.
