Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Desktop & Server Anti Virus EDR/XDR - AWARD" was initiated by West Berkshire Council, located in Newbury, Berkshire, United Kingdom. The contract falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" with additional classification in "Computer-related services." The procurement followed a selective method under a restricted procedure, culminating in an award stage on 4th September 2025. The contract, valued at £57,907, is set to commence on 3rd October 2025 and conclude by 2nd October 2028. This procurement aims to implement Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR for Endpoint & Server, with delivery addresses spanning from the British Oversea Territories to the rest of the world.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in software packages and computer-related services. Companies with expertise in endpoint protection and extended detection and response (XDR) systems are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially those with the capacity to operate in various regions including Europe and the Channel Islands. While the awarding of this contract to Softcat indicates a completed selection process, similar upcoming opportunities could yield substantial growth potential for competitors within this sector, especially those adept in navigating restricted procedures and meeting specific technology requirements.
