## Summary

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust recently awarded a contract for the FHFT VMWare ELA Agreement in the services category.

The tender period ended on April 14, 2023, and the contract extends from May 16, 2023, to May 15, 2026. The buying organisation, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, located in Frimley, England, initiated the tender to secure the best price for ongoing VMWare services.

This tender opportunity created by the Trust specifically targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as it focuses on delivering commercial and social value. Businesses in the digital services and IT industry, particularly those experienced in working with HealthTrust Europe frameworks, would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The Trust's VMWare ELA was due to expire in May 2023 and the requirement for VMWare was ongoing beyond this date. Therefore, the Trust approached the market via the HealthTrust Europe framework to ensure the best price is received. The Trust contracted for a 3 year term. The tender was run as 100% Commercial and Social Value, with the additional use of the DTAC Requirement Document.
