Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of "Spectrum Protect Licencing and Managed Support", a service within the computer back-up services industry. The award, which is part of an open procurement process, was finalised on 16th October 2018, and the associated contract is set to run from 1st December 2018 to 30th November 2021. The total contract value is £90,440, with a minimum value of £50,000, and the service aims to provide backup as a service for an on-premise IBM Spectrum Protect Environment, enhancing data management as the organisation transitions to Microsoft O365 over the next few months.

This procurement opportunity holds significant potential for businesses specialising in IT services and cloud solutions. Companies that provide backup services or manage IT infrastructure would be particularly well-suited to compete in this space, especially given the anticipated reductions in data volumes as Staffordshire County Council migrates to cloud-hosted services. With the increasing demand for reliable data management solutions, this contract may open doors for small and medium-sized enterprises eager to establish themselves in the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Spectrum Protect Licencing and Managed Support

Notice Description

Staffordshire County Council has appointed a partner to provide a 3 year Backup as a Service for our On-Premise IBM Spectrum Protect Environment. This will provide a 24 x 7 Managed Service, monitoring the environment and ensuring that daily backups are completed to agreed Service Levels. Our current estate is sized at 48Tb, but we are moving to Microsoft O365 during the next 9 months, this will reduce data volumes by approximately 9Tb. It is anticipated that further storage reductions will occur during the contract period until reaching a static level where growth is mitigated by services moving off premise to cloud hosted services and\or infrastructure.
