Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest county council in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over £900m on goods and services and a population of 1.3m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with 12 district councils and 289 parish/town councils.

In total, the Council has 4300 AirWatch Yellow Management Suite, Cloud, Perpetual, Device-based licences. The hosting, maintenance and production support for these licences is due to expire on 3 May 2019. The scope is for a quote to renew the hosting, maintenance and support with AirWatch for these licences for a 12-month period with an optional 6-month extension.

The Council has been made aware that the licence suite provided by VMWare AirWatch has been re-branded so will accept quotes for both of the following:
