Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured business continuity software and information systems under a requirement titled CST332 Business Continuity. The work is classified in the procurement as works, but its stated purpose and classification describe business continuity and software, rather than construction. Delivery was specified across England, with locations spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the Midlands, East of England, London and the South East and South West. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock. The requirement concerns software for business continuity; no more detailed product or service scope is set out in the available procurement information.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Coolspirit Ltd. Derbyshire County Council used a direct award, described as a call-off from G-Cloud 14. The award date was 31 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £399,750.40. The procurement's stated estimated value range was £199,875.20 to £399,750.40. The tender deadline was 30 August 2026 at 11:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are detailed in the published procurement information.

This award demonstrates that Derbyshire County Council buys business continuity software through a G-Cloud call-off, with a contract covering a substantial, multi-region requirement. Suppliers assessing this buyer's future business continuity needs should be able to provide software or information systems for that purpose and be credible in a public-sector framework call-off. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this procurement, so the requirement was not confined to large suppliers. The information describes no particular technical specification, accreditation or staffing threshold; the clearest evidence of fit is relevant business continuity software capability and the ability to serve a broad geographic requirement through the buyer's chosen route.
