## Summary

Falkirk Council procured server licensing, software, and hardware maintenance support for its Nutanix server infrastructure. The requirement is a technology services contract covering software licences, software products and ongoing technical support. The procurement is classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000) and IT software packages (CPV 48517000). Falkirk Council is the buying organisation. The requirement is centred on supporting the Council’s Nutanix server environment, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide the required licensing and software alongside dependable support for the associated server hardware. The selected supplier is BT PLC, a major technology and telecommunications provider, indicating a requirement suitable for an established supplier able to deliver integrated licensing, software and infrastructure support rather than a standalone software-only purchase.

This procurement has been awarded following a further competition under the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3: Software. BT PLC was selected from three bidders for an award valued at £844,481. The procurement process ran from 8 January 2026 to 10 June 2031. The published outcome identifies an active contract linked to the award. The route was a framework call-off competition rather than a standalone open tender, so participation depended on access to the relevant framework arrangements. The award covers the Council’s server licensing, software and maintenance support requirement. The award record does not state an award date or separate contract end date. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and value, but does not set out a separate scoring split or detailed evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for a combined Nutanix infrastructure support package: software licensing, software supply and hardware maintenance. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with Falkirk Council would need credible capability across all three areas, including the ability to manage licensing entitlements, supply and support enterprise software, and maintain the underlying server environment. Operational reliability and the capacity to provide continuing technical support would be important, as the requirement concerns core server infrastructure rather than an isolated product purchase. The procurement route also shows the commercial importance of holding a place on, or partnering with a supplier on, the relevant technology products framework. A credible competitor would therefore need framework-route access, strong enterprise infrastructure experience and sufficient delivery scale to support a council-wide environment.
