## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Citizen Housing Group Limited, aimed at replacing UCS chassis and blade servers crucial to their IT infrastructure, has recently concluded. The award was granted on 1st March 2026 to LIMA Networks Limited through a selective procurement method under a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £465,000, spans from 11th March 2026 to 10th March 2027 and focuses on computer equipment and supplies in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This procurement is categorised under services for the computer equipment industry, with an initial tender period that ended on 1st March 2026.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in computer equipment and IT infrastructure services. The targeted replacement of critical server infrastructure allows businesses with a focus on IT solutions to contribute their skills to enhance operational capabilities. Those within the West Midlands region or familiar with selective procurement processes, particularly those involved in call-offs from framework agreements, would find this tender well-suited to their capacities. With Citizen Housing Group Limited as the buying organisation, there is an opportunity for businesses to establish a strong partnership and expand their presence in the public procurement market.

## Notice

This procurement relates to the replacement of critical server infrastructure located at the buying organization data center. The equipment underpins the organisation's core IT environment and supports the full production infrastructure estate. The current hardware has been in service for approximately 7-11 years and is approaching or has reached end-of-life and end-of-support status. Continued operation of unsupported infrastructure presents significant operational, security, and compliance risk. This is a capital replacement of essential infrastructure and does not represent an expansion of scope or increase in capacity beyond current operational requirements.
