Birmingham City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of a reseller for VMWare licences and support, classified under the License Management Software Package industry (CPV 48218000). The tender was part of a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £31,736.32, covers the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom and spans from 29th November 2024 to 28th November 2025. Key dates include the award date of 22nd July 2024 and the contract start date on 29th November 2024.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in software licence reselling and support services, especially those familiar with VMWare products.

Companies that can offer competitive services in this sector and possess experience with similar frameworks will find this type of contract advantageous for growth and strategic business development.
