## Summary

The Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a procurement process for VMware Licences covering the period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2027. This procurement falls under the category of "goods," specifically targeting software packages and information systems. The contracting authority, based in Bootle, UKD73, conducted a limited procurement method, indicating a below-threshold, limited competition process. The process has now moved from the tender to the award stage, with a contract signed on 25th September 2025 for the amount of £33,629. The location of the contract delivery is within the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKD73 region.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those capable of providing VMware licensing solutions. Given the nature of the limited competition process, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like EPATON LIMITED—which successfully secured the contract—are ideally positioned to compete in such tenders. Businesses in the technology and software industry looking to expand their market share could greatly benefit from similar opportunities by leveraging their expertise in supplying such software packages to public authorities.
