The value of the procurement is £25,000, and it falls under the category of 'Computer equipment and supplies'. The tender was published on 7th February 2017, with a submission deadline of 21st February 2017. The project is currently in the award stage, as the contract period is set to commence on 1st March 2017 and will run for five years until 28th February 2022. The procurement method used for this contract was an open procedure, allowing all interested parties to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in computer hardware and software solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in server provision, VMWare technologies, and network services will find this contract highly relevant. Given the nature of the requirements, companies that can demonstrate their capability to deliver three standalone rack-mounted servers with compliance to VMWare specifications are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice The College is looking to purchase 3 servers as part of VMWare build (v6.5x) to use as VMWare hosts. The College is replacing its old chassis blade environment with 3 standalone rack mounted servers to run the college VMWare estate.
