## Summary

East Ayrshire Council procured VMware Broadcom technology for delivery in East Ayrshire. The requirement is for software licensing and associated digital technology supply, classified under CPV 48218000. It formed part of the council’s information and communications technology digital technology solutions requirement and was arranged as a three-year VMware Broadcom agreement. The procurement relates to goods rather than construction or professional services. The council is the public-sector buyer and user of the technology. The named requirement is focused on VMware products under Broadcom ownership, so it is most relevant to software licensing specialists, technology resellers, IT distributors and suppliers supporting public-sector digital infrastructure.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure under the Information Communications Technology Digital Technology Solutions 2023 framework. One electronic bid was recorded for the single lot. Softcat Plc was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a three-year agreement. Its value is £244,039.68. The award relates to the full VMware Broadcom requirement. The available procurement information records the route and successful supplier, but does not set out a separate price-versus-quality scoring basis. This is an award outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid on the contract.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of VMware and Broadcom licensing and related digital technology solutions. A credible competitor for a future requirement from East Ayrshire Council would need direct capability in identifying, supplying and supporting the relevant VMware/Broadcom products, together with the commercial capacity to manage a council-wide technology agreement over several years. Experience of public-sector purchasing and framework-based call-offs would be relevant, as would reliable licensing administration, account management and continuity of supply. The single electronic bid and award to a large technology supplier indicate that the requirement was met through a specialist technology reseller or distributor rather than a general goods supplier. Suppliers with comparable scale and product access should monitor this buyer’s technology demand.
