## Summary

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency has completed a procurement process for VMware Software Support and Maintenance, valued at £51,402. This contract covers all contracts for Spring Place and the NMOC and is categorised under software package and information systems. The contract period runs from 6th September 2018 to 5th September 2019, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was finalised on 5th September 2018, with the award notice published on 21st September 2018.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software support and information systems, particularly those offering VMware solutions. The focus on maintaining government security policies makes this contract particularly pertinent for smaller and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in technology and IT services. Companies capable of providing reliable support and maintenance are well-suited to compete in this sector, potentially enhancing their business growth and public sector visibility.

## Notice

VMware allows for the creation of virtual servers, it mimics an actual hardware server but lets you run several separate servers on one actual piece of hardware but as far as each guest server is concerned it thinks its running on real hardware which it has exclusive access to. It is a flexible solution that lets us create new servers quickly and also allows us to make maximum use of our server hardware. Support and maintenance is required for this software so that we are able to receive upgrades, patches and technical support. If the software was to cease functioning properly and we did not have the support and maintenance in place we would lose essential systems and would also be in breach of government security policies.
