It is a flexible solution that lets us create new servers quickly and also allows us to make maximum use of our server hardware. Support and maintenance is required for this software so that we are able to receive upgrades, patches and technical support. If the software was to cease functioning properly and we did not have the support and maintenance in place we would lose essential systems and would also be in breach of government security policies. ## CPV classification Software package and information systems Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/1b6a6263-842e-48f9-842d-098f16940028) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
