The Isle of Wight Council has completed a procurement process for VMware vSphere licensing, support and maintenance.

The procurement was processed with a negotiated method, resolving on 14th July 2025 and a contract period spanning from 19th July 2025 to 18th July 2028. Located in the South East of the United Kingdom, this procurement aligns with service-oriented classifications, intended for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
