## Summary

UK Atomic Energy Authority procured support for its Dell PowerScale systems. The requirement is computer support and consultancy services, focused on supporting the Dell PowerScale storage platform. The buyer is the UK Atomic Energy Authority, based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The work is for delivery in South East England. The procurement is categorised as a service, rather than a supply of equipment or a works project. This is a specific technology-support requirement, relevant to suppliers with expertise in Dell PowerScale rather than providers of general IT services alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DELL Corporation Limited through a direct award. The award date was 11 August 2026. The awarded value is £260,000. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded, and the route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that the UK Atomic Energy Authority buys dedicated support for its Dell PowerScale environment, rather than a broad package of unrelated IT services. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to demonstrate practical capability in supporting Dell PowerScale systems and provide dependable service for an established storage platform. The buyer used a direct-award route for this purchase, and the procurement was designated unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. A competitor would therefore need to assess whether it can credibly deliver this specific support requirement and meet the buyer’s expectations for continuity and technical expertise.
