The brief

BlueLight Commercial currently has a 3 year ELA agreement in place with VMware by Broadcom via a Reseller which comes to an end in December 2024.

BlueLight Commercial is therefore looking to re-procure this service and put in place a new 3-year VEO starting in December 2024 to ensure continuity of service.

The VMware by Broadcom VEO will enable participating UK Police, Fire and Rescue Services to access VMWare licences and services with the ability to add additional services and new participants to join at any point throughout the duration of the contact.

This requirement will be tendered via a Further Competition on CCS Framework - Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (Lot 3 Software) with a call-off contract awarded to a single bidder and entered into by BlueLight Commercial
