## Summary

The Home Office, located at 2 Marsham St, Westminster, London, has completed the procurement process for "Proc288 RHEL Licenses", which involved the acquisition of 150 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) subscriptions to support 300 virtual machines. The process followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This tender was awarded on 10 January 2018, with a contract period spanning from 20 February 2018 to 25 February 2019, and it was valued at £55,557. The tender’s deadline for submission was 17 February 2018.

This procurement presents an opportunity for IT software providers, particularly those specialising in virtual machine licensing and support services, to expand their market presence. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing and a reliable IT service may find themselves well-suited to compete in future similar tenders. With the Home Office as the contracting authority, firms with a proven track record in public sector contracts or those part of a larger framework agreement will likely have a strategic advantage in this sector.
