Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Police Headquarters has successfully awarded a contract titled "F5 License Renewal" under the networking, internet, and intranet software package category (CPV code: 48200000). The procurement process was conducted through the HealthTrustEurope (HTE) Complete ICT Solutions 3 (ComIT3) framework, with a direct award method justified by the renewal of an incumbent system. This one-year contract commenced on 15th August 2024 and will conclude on 14th August 2025, with an overall value of £129,319. The project will enhance the delivery, security, and performance of web applications, as well as other networking components for the organisation's officers and staff, located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity primarily for businesses involved in networking and software solutions that can ensure high performance and security for digital infrastructure. Despite the specific nature of the direct award to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD, future procurements of similar nature could prove beneficial for SMEs specialising in ICT and network management. Although this particular contract was not open to third-party submissions, it highlights the importance of framework agreements and how partnering with organisations forming part of such frameworks can lead to prospective business opportunities.
