The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed the procurement process for a one-year subscription to VMware Cloud on AWS Service, classified under Network Management Software Services (CPV: 72511000). This service covers the period from 10th January 2025 to 9th January 2026. The procurement was conducted through a limited method due to the unique provision by VMware International Unlimited Company ("Broadcom"). The procurement process did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of the directive. The contract was awarded on 9th January 2025, with a total value of £175,786.82, and the service will be delivered to regions within the UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT and cloud services industry to engage in future similar procurements, particularly those specialising in network management and cloud services. Companies with expertise in providing specialised software solutions and those capable of managing exclusive services can benefit from understanding the procurement landscape and the unique requirements set by governmental bodies such as the ONS. The streamlined procurement method indicates the potential for suppliers who can offer exclusive or highly specialised services to secure government contracts without the need for extensive competitive bidding processes.
