## Summary

Sunderland City Council has completed a procurement process titled "VMware Licenses, Support and Maintenance," classified under the software package and information systems industry category. This procurement was a selective process, utilising a call-off from Lot 3 of the CCS Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework (RM6098). The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd on 8th October 2025, with a contract period from 19th October 2025 to 18th October 2026, covering the North East region in the United Kingdom. The value of the contract is £78,819.84. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, having been set to conclude its tender period on 26th September 2025.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in software and IT systems to access government contracts, particularly those capable of providing licensing, support, and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find suitable opportunities under such frameworks, although this particular process is complete. The renewal and maintenance of VMware licenses demand expertise in virtualisation products, making it ideal for businesses with a background in providing comprehensive IT solutions and support. Engaging in these frameworks not only supports growth through consistent government contracts but also strengthens relationships with public sector entities.
