## Summary

The South Downs National Park Authority has successfully completed a public procurement process titled "Desk Side Support Services and Infrastructure as a Service," valued at £1,200,000. This procurement falls under the industry category of computer-related services and covers additional services like data and internet services, computer network services, and hardware disaster-recovery consultancy. Located in the South East of England, this award stage was finalized with VMhosts Ltd as the supplier, and the contract period is set from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028. The procurement was conducted via a restricted procedure under Public Contract Regulations 2015, which initially involved a selective invitation to between 5-8 service providers for tender participation, with a critical tender submission deadline on 16 December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focusing on infrastructure services and technology support. It provides a growth platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the nature and scope of services required. Businesses with expertise in computer-related services and the capacity to deliver comprehensive support in infrastructure-as-a-service (IAAS) and related IT services will find this an ideal avenue to expand their portfolios and enhance their presence in the public sector market.
