## Summary

The procurement process involves the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) which has awarded a contract for the “UK SBS Pan BEIS Enterprise Level Agreement for VMWare Product Suite.” This agreement falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, with the contract awarded through a framework agreement (RM3733 Technology Products 2), and is aimed at creating a streamlined service that enhances cost efficiency over a three-year period. The contract began on 7th December 2017 and is set to conclude on 11th September 2020, with a total contract value of £1,469,350.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, software development, and support, particularly those able to provide VMware solutions or similar services. Suppliers that can offer competitive pricing and benefit from aggregated purchasing would be well-positioned to compete for future similar contracts, leveraging the potential for significant cost savings for government departments. As BEIS aims to manage their software needs more efficiently, businesses that can operate on a larger scale or collaborate through strategic partnerships will find this environment ripe for growth.

## Notice

BEIS has identified there are significant service delivery and cost benefits for establishing a 3-year Departmental Enterprise Level Agreement for the current VMWare product suite portfolio. The Department has an established and extensive estate of VMware Software and Solutions. Historically each ALB has independently contracted with VMware through distribution channels and resellers. This has resulted in a large number of annual transactions for support and new low level ad hoc purchases. Consequently, this has not allowed BEIS to collectively achieve greatly improved commercial arrangements from aggregating requirements into a single multi-year agreement. The proposed ELA seeks to offer a single commercial agreement with attractive associated cost savings. It has the potential to deliver cost savings of approximately PS350 - PS400k over the proposed 3-year term from reduced support costs. This saving is based on the number of ALBs signed up to this initial ELA Additional information: This was awarded through a framework agreement; Framework Agreement RM3733 Technology Products 2 (TP2), Lot 2 (MC)
