## Summary

The public procurement process involves Worcestershire County Council seeking suppliers for the "Core Switch Replacement RFQ". This initiative falls under the computer equipment and supplies industry category. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the award has already been made as of October 1, 2021, after the tender period which concluded on September 28, 2021. The value of the awarded contract is £87,551.04, with a contract duration extending from October 4, 2021, to October 3, 2026. Deliveries are expected at various locations, including Worcester, across the United Kingdom and other territories.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses specialising in IT infrastructure, particularly those supplying computer equipment and services. Suppliers in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector may find this procurement ideal, as there is a positive inclination toward SME participation in the process. Companies equipped to handle large-scale projects and those capable of providing ongoing support over the contract duration would be well-positioned to respond effectively to similar tenders, thereby facilitating potential growth and expansion in this domain.
