## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Department for Work and Pensions, which has awarded a contract for "DWP Tooling - SPLUNK Hardware." This project falls within the services industry category and is intended to enhance the capacity of the Splunk Virtualisation platform. The procurement method used was selective, and the contract has an estimated value of £401,056, covering a contract period from 17 December 2020 to 16 December 2021. The contract was published on 13 January 2021, with the tender period having ended on 6 November 2020, indicating a completed planning and tendering process.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in hardware supply and virtualisation solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could especially benefit from this contract as they possess the agility and expertise required for such technological enhancements. Competing suppliers should focus on showcasing their capabilities in storage and compute solutions tailored to large-scale infrastructures.

## Notice

The current strategic Technology Service Splunk Virtualisation platform requirements have breached the current VM & Storage capacity in OPH resulting in the requirement for procurement around additional compute and storage for the Technology Services Splunk instance. The next phase is to extend the platform capacity and also scaling out into a fully clustered solution.
