## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to renew its Red Hat Resilient Storage Licence for a contract valued at £40,096, which will be active from 8 October 2020 until 5 June 2021. This tender falls under the category of software packages and information systems, with the procurement executed through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement.
