## Summary

The procurement process was undertaken by the Crown Commercial Service, focusing on the provision of SolarWinds High Availability (HA) and Additional Product Enhancements (APE) Licenses. This tender falls within the software package and information systems industry category and was initiated as a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 19th July 2018, and the contract commenced on 3rd August 2018, with a contract duration until 5th August 2019. Delivery addresses include locations across the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and various regions within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in software licensing and related services, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
