This contract falls under the "Servers" industry category and is classified as a services procurement. The project, valued at £36,387.84, utilises an open procedure method. The key dates include the tender period's end on 16th September 2024, the contract award date on 19th September 2024, and the contract's duration from 30th September 2024 to 29th September 2025. The project services are to be delivered in England, United Kingdom.

Enterprises that can provide comprehensive, scalable IT solutions, especially in server management and virtualisation, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts executed by public bodies like Cumberland Council. This is a chance to showcase one's capabilities in delivering high-quality IT services within the UK public sector.
