## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by Blood Services South West, seeking the provision of VMware licences for a 12-month period, with a total contract value of £32,624.88. This contract, which falls under the software package and information systems category, was awarded on 29th November 2018 and is active until 4th December 2019.

Companies with a strong service offering in software development, support, and licensing are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging with organisations like Blood Services South West can also enhance visibility within public sector procurement.
