## Summary

Durham County Council has completed the procurement process for the renewal of VMWare support and licensing, spanning a period of three years. This tender, classified within the software package and information systems category, was conducted under a restricted procedure with an end date for submissions on 27 April 2017. The contract is effective from 16 May 2017 and will continue until 15 May 2020. The procurement was clearly intended to enhance the council's IT capabilities in the North East of the United Kingdom, with a contract awarded to Bytes Software Services valued at £34,372.23.

This opportunity may foster growth for businesses specialising in software support and licensing services, particularly those with the expertise to manage complex software systems for public sector organisations. Companies with a background in IT services, especially those offering support for virtualisation technologies, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, which adhere to stringent procurement methods and require an understanding of public sector procurement processes.
