Centerprise International

What Centerprise International does

Centerprise International is a UK-headquartered (Basingstoke) privately held IT services group founded in 1983, operating exclusively in the United Kingdom with a 51-100 employee base and a 200,000 sq ft Wales manufacturing facility. The company delivers end-to-end IT lifecycle services — device supply and configuration, sovereign cloud hosting, managed services, business continuity and disaster recovery, cybersecurity, IT asset disposition, OEM contract manufacturing, and esports/performance systems — under eight specialist sub-brands: CiCloud, CiContinuity, CiLifecycle, Ci-OEM, Ci-OEM, Boxx Tech, Yoyotech, Centiant, and CompTech Solutions. Core technology is anchored on HPE GreenLake (CiCloud), Veeam (CiContinuity), Microsoft (Azure, M365, Sentinel, Intune, Autopilot), NVIDIA GPUs (Private AI), and Ark Data Centre hosting, with ADISA Standard 8.0 DIAL 3 certification for ITAD and a comprehensive ISO certification stack including ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management.

The business serves primarily UK public sector and regulated customers — Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy, HM Treasury, NHS trusts, police and fire services, local councils, education institutions, and regulated enterprises (finance, housing, infrastructure) — through approved-supplier positions on G-Cloud, Tech Services, TePAS, NHS SBS, YPO, CPC, Enframe, and Welsh Government Commercial Delivery frameworks. Revenue mechanics blend recurring managed services and DaaS subscriptions, transaction-based ITAD and value-recovery fees, hardware pass-through sales, OEM contract manufacturing, and project-based professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales backed by case-study-led content marketing and framework-relationship channels.

The company's strategic posture in 2025 is anchored on UK data sovereignty, full-lifecycle accountability, and selective expansion into AI infrastructure (Private AI on HPE/NVIDIA) under a newly certified ISO 42001 AI management framework. Leadership is led by CEO Jez Nash, Founder and Chairman Rafi Razzak, Director of Sales Jeremy Nash, Director Duncan Templeton, Finance Director Sharon Allen, and HR & Support Director Samantha Lailey. Ownership is private with no disclosed external institutional capital.

Direct peers

• Computacenter: UK-headquartered value-added reseller and managed services provider with a large UK public-sector practice. Directly comparable to Centerprise in device supply, managed services, cloud, and lifecycle offerings for defence and government customers.
• SCC: Europe's largest independent IT services group, with deep UK public-sector presence across hardware supply, managed services, cloud, and security. Operates similar multi-vendor framework relationships (G-Cloud, CCS) and competes for the same defence and central government programmes.
• Softcat: UK-based IT infrastructure reseller with strong public-sector and enterprise sales. Overlaps with Centerprise on device supply, networking, and cloud licensing, though Softcat is more weighted toward software licensing and less toward lifecycle/ITAD.
• Trustmarque: UK IT services and solutions provider focused on NHS, central government, and education. Comparable to Centerprise in public-sector frameworks, device-as-a-service, and managed services delivery.
• Bytes Technology: UK-focused IT solutions provider operating across software licensing, security, and public-sector frameworks. Comparable on G-Cloud presence and enterprise device/software supply, though with less of a manufacturing/lifecycle focus.
• Sims Lifecycle Services: Global IT asset disposition specialist with UK operations. Directly comparable to CiLifecycle in ADISA-certified secure disposal, refurbishment, and ESG reporting for enterprise and public-sector clients.

Broad incumbents

• Insight Enterprises (UK): Global IT solutions integrator with UK public-sector presence. Overlaps with Centerprise on hardware supply, cloud, and managed services, but at significantly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Sopra Steria (UK Public Sector): European system integrator with substantial UK public-sector business across defence, government, and NHS. Competes with Centerprise primarily at the prime-contractor level on large transformation programmes.
• Iron Mountain Data Centers / ITAD: Large-scale data centre and ITAD operator with UK presence. Overlaps with Centerprise on secure data destruction, asset disposition, and increasingly on sovereign cloud hosting, though at much greater scale.

Others

• Boxx Technologies: US-based workstation and rendering PC specialist. Centerprise's Boxx Tech sub-brand distributes BOXX systems in the UK, making Boxx a supplier/partner rather than a direct competitor, but functionally comparable on professional-grade custom workstations.
