## Summary

Doncaster MBC has completed the tender process for the project titled "Virtualisation Hardware Replacement," aimed at enhancing and expanding the virtual machine hardware infrastructure ahead of its current hardware's end of life on 2nd July 2019. This procurement falls within the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems. The contract, awarded on 12th April 2019, is valued at £180,000 and is set to run from 15th April 2019 to 12th April 2024. The procurement method used was a selective restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 22nd March 2019. The delivery address is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

This contract offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software development and consulting. Given the nature of the project, businesses that provide virtualisation solutions, hardware support, or consulting services geared towards IT infrastructure enhancement would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders. The local focus on Yorkshire and the Humber could also encourage partnership opportunities with SMEs based in this region, thereby strengthening local business networks.
