## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service is seeking to award a contract titled "Provision of Servers, Switch Couplers, Connectors and Licences." This procurement falls under the industry category of office and computing machinery, with a total contract value of £114,284. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, this procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having reached completion on 20th August 2018. The contract itself is set to commence on 17th August 2018 and will run until 17th September 2018.
