## Summary

Durham County Council initiated a procurement process for "Additional VMware Licenses and Support" focusing on the services industry, specifically relating to server software. The procurement method utilised was selective, being a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 24th June 2022, with the contract period commencing on 1st July 2022 and lasting until 30th June 2023. Delivery of the services is expected in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The total awarded value was £25,229.86, with the contract officially awarded on 28th June 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of providing server-related software services.
