## Summary

Cumberland Council procured a renewal of its Citrix NetScaler VPX and Gateway arrangements. The requirement is a technology services contract supporting software and information systems, including the continued use, maintenance or support of Citrix NetScaler VPX and Gateway products. It is primarily an IT services and software support requirement rather than a construction or physical supply contract. The buying organisation is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. Delivery is associated with Cumbria and the wider United Kingdom. The scope is focused on renewing an existing council technology capability, so suppliers specialising in secure application delivery, network gateway platforms, software licensing and related technical support are the most relevant comparison group.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. A single requirement was awarded to PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 16 August 2026 to 15 August 2028. Its value is £41,652.68 excluding VAT, or £49,983.22 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The contract is active. The requirement was handled as a single lot, and the published award covers software package and information systems together with IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The recorded title is Citrix NetScaler VPX & Gateway Renewal.

This award shows a defined public-sector requirement for renewing and supporting Citrix NetScaler VPX and Gateway technology within a local authority environment. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have practical expertise in Citrix NetScaler platforms, gateway and application-delivery services, software renewal management, technical support and the associated information-systems environment. Credibility would come from demonstrating successful delivery of secure, business-critical network or access platforms for organisations with operational continuity requirements. IT consultancies, software resellers, managed-service providers and specialist infrastructure support businesses may find the requirement commercially relevant, particularly where they can combine product knowledge with responsive support and renewal administration. The award also identifies a below-threshold route used by this buyer for a focused technology requirement.
