## Summary

The recent public procurement process titled "Hardware Refresh Phase 2" was conducted by the Ambulance Radio Programme, a buyer based in Bristol, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of Network Servers, with the primary objective to purchase hardware equipment and associated licences necessary for Datacentre and Trust refresh. The procurement method utilised was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement reached the award stage, with the tender period having concluded on 7th July 2025, and the contract period set between 8th and 14th July 2025. The awarded contract was published on 7th August 2025, with a total contract value amounting to £2,921,799 GBP.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for businesses involved in supplying network servers and related hardware solutions, particularly those equipped to fulfil framework agreements. While this specific tender has been completed, similar opportunities may arise, enhancing growth potential for businesses specialising in IT infrastructure and datacentre solutions. Although the procurement was not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms, like the supplier Exponential-e Ltd Primary, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify the scale of organisations typically well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in future tenders could provide businesses with substantial projects that leverage their technical expertise and capacity for large-scale equipment delivery.
