Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Cornwall Council, titled "Document Storage and Retrieval Services," falls under the services industry category of Document Management Services according to CPV classification 72512000. This contract involves secure facilities for storing and managing documentation records, ensuring full compliance with GDPR standards. The procurement utilised a direct award method, concluding with an active award on 26th June 2025. The contract, valued at £325,000, commenced on 1st July 2025 and is set to continue until 30th June 2030. The project will be located in the United Kingdom, and the supplier awarded the contract is Restore Plc.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing specialised document management and storage solutions, particularly those experienced with GDPR compliance. While the procurement method was a direct award, which often limits competition, businesses with a large operational scale, similar to Restore Plc, may find such opportunities advantageous to pursue, especially in similar future procurements. Companies already engaged with document management services and possessing robust, secure facilities would likely be well-suited to compete for such contracts to enhance their market presence and service offerings to large public entities like Cornwall Council.
