## Summary

The NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) organisation has successfully completed a tender process for the maintenance of its Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop services. The procurement, classified under the 'Maintenance and repair of computer equipment' category, was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from the RM3733 framework agreement. The contract, valued at £101,065, commenced on 1st February 2018 and is set to conclude on 31st January 2021. The tender period ended on 2nd January 2018, indicating that the process is now complete and pertains to services rather than goods, targeting locations across the UK and other jurisdictions including British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender presents an opportunity for IT service providers and firms specializing in software maintenance, particularly those with expertise in Citrix products. Businesses that have experience in providing service contracts and support for large-scale IT infrastructure would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature. The award was granted to CDW LIMITED, a large-scale supplier, suggesting that similar sized or capable organisations might find advantageous opportunities in this sector.
