About

Together Housing Group Limited awarded a contract to Softcat PLC for the provision of VMware and vSphere licensing.

The 12-month contract, valued at AUD 87,772.73, was awarded directly following a procurement process that yielded no suitable bids.

The direct award was justified under Together Housing's Financial Regulations for below-threshold contracts, citing the need for service continuity, the financial risk of accepting the tendered prices, and alignment with the principles of Regulation 32.2(a).

The contract duration was reduced from the initially planned four years to one year, with a further procurement exercise planned as the contract concludes.
