## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured support for its existing server, storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. The requirement covers an on-premise virtual desktop environment and associated systems support services, including maintenance, licensing and technical support. Its purpose is to maintain resilience, performance and continuity of service across the Council’s infrastructure. The equipment and services concern servers and related data-centre infrastructure. Delivery is in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. This is a public-sector technology support requirement rather than a new-build hardware supply contract: the emphasis is on maintaining and supporting infrastructure already operated by the Council. The work is therefore relevant to providers of server, storage, virtual desktop, licensing and technical support services with the ability to support an established public-sector environment.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Telefónica Tech UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 for £43,472.40 excluding any separately stated tax treatment. The Council used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition under the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework Agreement, Lot 2: Data Centre Solutions. The procurement was evaluated on price. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering support, maintenance, licensing and associated technical services, although the published lot status is recorded as cancelled while the related award and contract are active. One bid was recorded. The contract is active, but no contract end date or duration is stated in the procurement outcome.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for dependable support of established server, storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in on-premise virtual desktop environments, server and storage support, software licensing, maintenance and associated technical services. Experience of maintaining resilience, performance and continuity of service would be important, as would the capacity to support a live Council environment without disrupting existing services. The route used also shows the commercial importance of access to an appropriate public-sector technology framework and the ability to meet its direct-award terms. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable technical support, infrastructure knowledge and relevant public-sector delivery experience, with pricing sufficiently competitive for a price-led evaluation.
