## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs procured support for its HPE Aruba technology. The requirement is categorised as IT services and covers support for the existing HPE Aruba environment; the procurement rationale identifies it as a repeat of existing services. The buyer is HM Revenue & Customs, and the delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the support requirement. This is a focused renewal rather than a broad IT support programme: suppliers whose work centres on HPE Aruba support and continuity for an established installation are closest to the requirement. The named successful supplier is Akhter Computers Ltd, based in Harlow.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Akhter Computers Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 12 October 2026. Its stated value is £372,549.59. The contract period is not recorded in the process data. HM Revenue & Customs used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, described as further competition; the stated rationale was the repetition of existing services. The requirement was divided into one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. Price was the sole award criterion. The process records one bid for the lot. The award is linked to the support requirement for the HPE Aruba renewal.

This award shows HM Revenue & Customs’ demand for continued support of its existing HPE Aruba technology, with the requirement treated as a repeat of services already provided. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need demonstrable capability to support HPE Aruba environments and maintain service continuity, alongside the capacity to deliver a focused renewal for a national government buyer. Price was the stated basis of evaluation, so a competitive commercial offer would be important. The contract was awarded through a limited route without prior publication, on the stated further-competition basis; suppliers should therefore be prepared for a procurement route that may not involve an openly advertised competition. The successful supplier was a large company, indicating the scale of supplier selected, though the process sets out no specific accreditation or technical qualification requirement. No broader IT service capability is evidenced as part of this requirement.
