## Summary

The University of Sheffield, located in Sheffield, England, has successfully completed a procurement process for the contract titled "2992/MH Dynamic Ports on Demand Licenses for existing Extreme Switches." This contract, valued at £71,000, falls under the goods category for switch or router software packages and was awarded on 14th July 2021. The procurement was conducted through a selective method by running a further competition under the JISC Networking Framework Agreement, with the tender period concluding on 2nd July 2021. The contract period spans from 15th July 2021 to 14th July 2022.

This procurement opportunity opens avenues for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in government contracting. Companies that specialise in network technology, software licensing, and related services would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. With a focus on dynamic licensing solutions, firms that can provide innovative and cost-effective software solutions may find significant opportunities for growth within the public sector.

## Notice

The University already has installed a number of Brocade (now Extreme) Switches in it's network. We required the licenses to be added to allow Dynamic Ports on Demand and ran a further competition under the JISC Networking Framework Agreement, Lot 4 to determine the best pricing available.
