Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting as Fire and Rescue Authority, procured computer equipment and supplies for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers ICT capital hardware, including IT hardware, networking and security equipment, and commercially available off-the-shelf software. It forms part of the authority’s technology infrastructure and equipment needs, rather than a construction or professional services contract. The buyer is based at County Hall in Northallerton and the purchasing organisation is the combined authority acting in its fire and rescue role. The procurement classification is computer equipment and supplies (CPV 30200000). The scope is therefore relevant to suppliers of enterprise hardware, network and security products, and established software resellers able to support public-sector technology supply.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective further competition under the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Framework for IT Hardware, Networking and Security Equipment and COTS Software. The contract was awarded to SOFTCAT PLC on 14 August 2025 for £114,054.83 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 18 August 2025 to 17 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2025 at 13:00. The award is active and covers the whole stated requirement rather than separate published lots. Participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement used a framework call-off route, so competition was restricted to framework arrangements rather than an open-market tender.

The award indicates demand from a fire and rescue authority for a broad, integrated technology supply capability rather than a single specialist product. A credible competitor would need to supply enterprise IT hardware alongside networking and security equipment, provide access to recognised commercial off-the-shelf software, and manage the related product range through a public-sector framework route. The successful supplier was a large technology provider, suggesting that breadth of catalogue, purchasing capacity, manufacturer relationships, fulfilment reliability and the ability to handle a multi-category order are important competitive strengths. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate dependable equipment sourcing, compatibility across infrastructure components, software licensing competence and experience serving public-sector operational organisations.
