## Summary

NHS Lanarkshire has recently awarded a contract for the implementation of an MS Exchange 2013 email environment to replace its existing Exchange 2007 system. The procurement process was initiated on 3rd March 2017 and concluded with the award on the same date. The project is aimed at enhancing ICT services, capable of supporting approximately 10,000 mailboxes, and is located at Hairmyres Hospital, South Lanarkshire. The awarded contract has a value of £84,000 and includes an option for solution support over three years, extendable on a month-to-month basis. The tender period was open until 28th April 2017, during which the buying organisation aimed to streamline their email capabilities and integrate Skype for Business for effective communication.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in information technology services, particularly those with expertise in email systems and related ICT infrastructure. Companies offering comprehensive solutions in MS Exchange implementation, as well as those skilled in providing ongoing support for such systems, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses that can integrate communication tools like Skype for Business into existing systems would have a competitive advantage in responding to similar future tenders within the public sector.
