## Summary

BlueLight Commercial has announced the award of a contract for the provisioning of BLC0216 VMware Enterprise Order (VEO) services for UK policing, fire and rescue services. The procurement process, which has been completed, sought to ensure continuity of VMware services after their existing agreement ends in December 2024. The new 3-year VEO contract starts on 24th December 2024 and serves regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The awarding of this contract, following a tender that concluded on 1st November 2024, involves a call-off contract awarded to a single supplier, Computacenter, under the CCS Framework - Technology Products & Associated Services 2.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of software packages and information systems, specifically those supplying VMware solutions. The contract, valued at £24,654,926.18 GBP, spans three years and offers ongoing opportunities for companies able to provide additional services or facilitate new participants throughout its duration. Large enterprises with expertise in technology services for critical public safety infrastructure would be well-suited to compete for similar procurement opportunities, providing avenues for substantial business growth within this sector.

## Notice

BlueLight Commercial currently has a 3 year ELA agreement in place with VMware by Broadcom via a Reseller which comes to an end in December 2024. BlueLight Commercial is therefore looking to re-procure this service and put in place a new 3-year VEO starting in December 2024 to ensure continuity of service. The VMware by Broadcom VEO will enable participating UK Police, Fire and Rescue Services to access VMWare licences and services with the ability to add additional services and new participants to join at any point throughout the duration of the contact. This requirement will be tendered via a Further Competition on CCS Framework - Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (Lot 3 Software) with a call-off contract awarded to a single bidder and entered into by BlueLight Commercial
