## Summary

Leicestershire Police has concluded a procurement process titled "Server Virtualisation Refresh" to acquire a high-performance virtual server hosting platform, including support and maintenance throughout the contract's duration. This procurement falls under the industry category of office and computing machinery, covering the region of East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method involved a selective approach through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC on 21st August 2025, and the contract period running from 24th November 2025 to 23rd November 2030. The total contract value is £480,503.99 GBP. The contract was considered complete as of its publication date on 22nd December 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the computing and IT sectors, particularly those capable of providing resilient and high-performance server solutions. Although the process favoured larger companies with established frameworks, it highlights potential growth areas for firms that can deliver similar services to public sector organisations. Smaller businesses may benefit by forming partnerships or collaborations with larger tech companies to become a preferred supplier in similar future contracts involving advanced server technologies and support services.
