Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Lichfield District Council relates to the acquisition of Anti-Virus Software within the Software package and information systems industry category. This tender, identified as LDC-636, was initiated through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement and has reached the award stage. The contract has a total value of £105,516.20 and involves delivery to the West Midlands, United Kingdom. Significant milestones include the end of the tender period on 17th March 2026 and the subsequent award on the same day, with the contract set to be active from 4th April 2026 until 3rd April 2029. The procurement is primarily aimed at goods and supports the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in developing or supplying software solutions, especially within the information systems sector, to expand their market presence by securing contracts with local government authorities. The requirement for Anti-Virus Software demands expertise in IT security, providing a growth avenue for companies that specialise in cybersecurity products. Lichfield District Council's call-off process from a framework agreement suggests stability and long-term contract potential, offering reliable business prospects for SMEs particularly, though larger enterprises such as Softcat PLC, the appointed supplier, may also find value in such government contracts.
