## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions, based in Manchester, has completed the procurement process for the project titled "project_23911 - Citrix XENApp5 Farm". This project, classified under Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services, involved expanding Citrix’s capability into the Crown Hosting facility at Corsham due to the risk associated with supporting technology located at a single data centre. The procurement was executed through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, with a contract value of £58,071.60. The contract period commenced on 15 March 2021 and concludes on 23 April 2021. The tender closed on 2 March 2021.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical consulting and IT services, particularly those with experience in Citrix solutions. Companies looking to expand their offerings in technical infrastructure and consultancy services, especially those with a strong track record in cloud solutions and data centre management, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. This project exemplifies the ongoing demand for innovative solutions in the public sector, particularly concerning data resilience and technology upgrades.

## Notice

DWP have identified that having XA5 available in only a single data centre location is a risk and are planning to expand the solution into the Crown Hosting Corsham as soon as possible. DWP have requested that Citrix Consulting assist again with this deployment, to mitigate the risk of deploying an out of support technology.
