## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland, the Common Services Agency, procured servers and data storage for its new data centres, together with three years of equipment support. This is a technology hardware and infrastructure supply requirement, covering the provision and ongoing support of data-centre equipment rather than construction or general IT consultancy. The buyer is a Scottish public-sector central purchasing body based in Edinburgh, and delivery is associated with Scotland. The requirement was arranged as a single package and classified under CPV 48821000, covering computer servers. It will suit suppliers that can provide enterprise server and storage equipment, manage data-centre supply and installation requirements, and support the equipment throughout the specified support period.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Softcat plc was selected as the supplier for the single package. The contract value is £1,275,179.24. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active; the requirement includes three years of support for the supplied equipment. Four bids were received, all submitted electronically, with none from SMEs. The award was evaluated through the open procedure, with the successful outcome recorded for the complete servers and data-storage requirement. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate lot values or additional awards are reported.

This award demonstrates established demand from Public Services Delivery Scotland for enterprise servers and data-storage equipment supporting new data centres, with a substantial associated support requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to reliable server and storage products, the capacity to supply a complete infrastructure package, and the technical capability to support equipment over several years. Experience of public-sector procurement and delivering data-centre hardware would strengthen a supplier’s position. The competition attracted four electronic bids, but none came from SMEs, indicating that the opportunity was contested by larger or specialist suppliers and that scale, product breadth and delivery capability may be important when this buyer next sources comparable infrastructure.
