## Summary

The procurement process, managed by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), involves the acquisition of VMware Host Licenses. The tender, classified under the industry category of License Management Software, had its procurement method designated as selective, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited, with the award date recorded as 30th July 2025. The contract period spans from 4th August 2025 until 3rd August 2026, with intended deliveries to regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology and software, specifically those with expertise in licence management solutions. Given the selective nature of the procurement process and the involvement of a framework agreement, technology firms with established credentials and prior experience in government contracting will find this opportunity particularly viable. While the contract is not directly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises in the IT industry can leverage this project for growth and expansion across several strategic geographical areas as stipulated by DEFRA's distribution requirements.
