Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Transport Police procured Dell Data Domain server storage, classified as network servers (CPV 48821000). The requirement is for goods supporting the force’s data-storage infrastructure, rather than a general ICT consultancy service. It was delivered in England, with the buying organisation based in London. The purchase was made through the ICT Managed Services & Consultancy framework, specifically its ICT Managed Services lot, using a mini-competition. The awarded supplier was boxxe Limited, a large ICT business based in York. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of enterprise server-storage platforms, data protection and storage infrastructure, particularly those able to support public-sector customers through an established technology framework.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £1,438,785 including the stated currency of GBP. British Transport Police awarded the contract to boxxe Limited on 20 July 2026 for £1,198,988. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2031. Evaluation was conducted through the framework mini-competition route. The opportunity was categorised as goods and was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial British Transport Police requirement for enterprise Dell Data Domain storage delivered through a public-sector ICT framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in Dell Data Domain or closely related enterprise storage, data protection, resilience and infrastructure support. It would also need the capacity to supply and support a sizeable public-sector storage environment over a multi-year service period, with appropriate implementation, technical support and account-management capability. Experience of framework call-offs and mini-competitions would be important, as would the scale and governance expected when supplying a national policing organisation. The successful supplier profile indicates that larger ICT providers are well placed.
