## Summary

Cardiff University has completed a procurement process for the replacement of its Nutanix virtual machine infrastructure, critical for hosting the university's on-premise applications. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Data-processing machines (hardware)" and is located in the region identified as UKL22. The procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, under a limited procedure, as a call off from a public framework. The award was made to CDW Limited for a contract valued at £683,371.63, with the contract having been officially signed on 27th May 2026.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in providing IT infrastructure solutions, particularly those capable of supplying advanced data-processing hardware. Companies that are adept in servicing educational institutions stand to benefit greatly, given Cardiff University's focus on upgrading its IT infrastructure. While CDW Limited, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the contract, similar businesses with robust delivery capabilities and competitive pricing strategies will be well-positioned to compete in future opportunities of this nature.
