## Summary

The Home Office procured support for its Brocade storage area network (SAN) switches. The requirement covers maintenance and repair of data network equipment, including ongoing technical support for the switches that underpin data storage connectivity. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Delivery is associated with the Home Office’s London location, including 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DF. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is aimed at suppliers with specialist capability in enterprise networking, SAN infrastructure and Brocade equipment. Businesses providing hardware support, fault diagnosis, maintenance and related technical services for public-sector data network environments would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Boxxe Limited on 7 September 2026. The award value is £16,553.02 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 23 August 2027. It was conducted as a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the complete requirement for Brocade SAN switch support; no lot breakdown is provided. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the use of the framework call-off route. The successful supplier is Boxxe Limited, and the award status is active.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting the Home Office’s future SAN support requirements. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in Brocade SAN switches, enterprise storage networking and the maintenance and repair of data network equipment. Relevant capability would include diagnosing faults, supporting operational infrastructure, maintaining service continuity and providing responsive technical assistance in a public-sector environment. The requirement is small enough in scale for an SME-capable specialist to consider, while the framework call-off route shows that access to an appropriate framework may be commercially important. Suppliers with established Brocade support experience, suitably skilled engineers and the capacity to serve a London-based government customer would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
