## Summary

The procurement process involves Durham County Council, which has awarded a contract for the purchase of three additional PowerEdge servers to enhance their VMware hosting infrastructure.

The tender period ended on 24 June 2022, while the contract commenced on 1 July 2022 and will conclude on 30 June 2023. The project is centred in the North East region of the United Kingdom.
