## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed the procurement process for the renewal of VMware software subscriptions in 2025, aimed at maintaining the virtualisation platform capabilities in their on-premise data centres. Under the call-off from a framework agreement, the selective procurement process has resulted in an award worth £2,559,660 to CDW Ltd. The contract period is set to commence on 27 March 2025 and conclude on 26 March 2028, covering services delivered across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world. The procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems (CPV code: 48000000).

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale suppliers specialising in software and information systems to strengthen their business relations with governmental departments. Businesses equipped with expertise in virtualisation platforms, particularly those that are not SMEs or VCSEs, are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement initiatives by the DWP, expanding their service offerings and enhancing their portfolios through notable government contracts. The successful fulfilment of this contract can not only bring financial benefits but also potentially open doors for future collaborations within the public sector.

## Notice

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) requirement for VMWare software subscriptions is to continue to deliver services that are currently hosted in On-Premise Data Centres to provide a shared virtualisation platform capability until the strategic roadmap is delivered.
