Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for identifying a Hardware & Software Solutions Partner was led by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, located in Leeds, at Wellington House, 40-50 Wellington Street. This tender focused on the provision of high-quality hardware, software, consultancy, and related services, aiming to work closely with the Digital and Technology Services Team. The procurement falls under the services category, covering industry classifications such as hardware, software-related services, and information technology services, specifically for the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The procurement process utilised a restricted procedure and was at the award stage as of 27th May 2025, with the contract valued at £15,000,000. The award was made to Softcat Plc, commencing on 1st May 2025 and concluding on 30th April 2029.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the technology and consultancy sectors, particularly those with expertise in providing comprehensive hardware and software solutions that can meet the rigorous standards and value-for-money focus of public sector organisations. Large-scale businesses with robust capabilities to deliver integrated IT services would be well-suited for such contracts. Although the tender was awarded to a large firm, future similar opportunities may encourage diverse businesses to foster partnerships or enhance service offerings, thus helping them grow and secure other government contracts. The ability to cater to regional needs in Yorkshire and the Humber, alongside the proficiency in managing complex IT projects, would be advantageous for interested contenders in forthcoming tenders.
