## Summary

Edinburgh Napier University has completed a procurement process titled "VMware VCF 9 Implementation," which focused on the education sector. The project involved the delivery and installation of VMware VCF 9, alongside a five-year End User Licence, at the university's Sighthill Campus in Edinburgh, UK. This procurement was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting a limited procurement method due to technical constraints, ensuring continuity in their cloud computing infrastructure. The contract was awarded to VMware International Unlimited Company, with the award notice dated 29th May 2026, and the contract value amounts to £1,480,218.82.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for organisations specialising in software deployment, license management, and ongoing system support, particularly those with existing VMware partnerships or expertise. Businesses operating in similar technical domains can leverage the potential for long-term engagements with educational institutions that require technically specialised solutions. This specific procurement underscores the importance of offering compatible, innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, making it an attractive venture for firms adept in providing technically sophisticated and compatible software infrastructure services.

## Notice

A converged implementation and installation of VCF 9 from the current VMware installed state, plus 5-year End User Licence.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a 5-year subscription renewal contract for our VMware provision plus professional services to deploy VCF version 9.1.

### Procurement Information

These are supplies ands services intended as a partial replacement and upgrade of, and extension to, an existing software installation, where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility with, and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance of, our cloud computing and virtualization technology environment.
