## Summary

Chesterfield Borough Council procured services to renew its VMware Cloud on AWS production hosting arrangement. The requirement covers cloud hosting and associated networking software, supporting the council’s production cloud environment rather than a standalone website service. Delivery is in Chesterfield, England. The buyer is a local authority, and the selected supplier is Softcat Plc. This is a technology services requirement for organisations providing, managing or supporting VMware-based cloud hosting on AWS, including the related networking software and operational services needed to maintain a production host environment.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contracted stage. Chesterfield Borough Council used a limited procedure: a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), without publishing a prior call for competition. The requirement was evaluated on price. Softcat Plc was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £303,247.59. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement was described as a renewal of Cloud on AWS services, with the associated lot recorded as cancelled despite the active award and contract.

This procurement indicates established demand from Chesterfield Borough Council for substantial VMware Cloud on AWS production-hosting support and related networking software. Competitors targeting a future requirement from this buyer would need credible capability in VMware environments hosted on AWS, production cloud operations, networking software and service renewal or continuation work. Familiarity with the G-Cloud 14 framework route would be commercially important, because the council used it for a direct award rather than an open competition. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate pricing that can compete where price is the evaluation basis, together with the operational capacity and technical support arrangements required to maintain a council’s production cloud host.
