Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Ombudsman Service, based in London, has completed the procurement process for the renewal of support and maintenance services for the Dell EMC Unity 500 system for the 2024-2025 period. This procurement falls under the system and support services industry category, with an overall contract value of GBP 32,884.67. The competitive quotation method was used, indicating a limited procurement process below the threshold. The procurement stage is at the award phase, and the contract period runs from 5 October 2024 to 4 October 2025, with the tender period having ended on 17 September 2024.

This contract award presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT support and maintenance services, particularly those familiar with Dell EMC products. While MTI Technology, a large-scale firm, has been awarded this contract, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) could benefit from similar future tenders by demonstrating their capability to deliver specialised system support services. Businesses that establish competitive quotations and offer high-quality maintenance services will be well-suited to compete in this market segment.
