Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "ICT Backup and Recovery" contract was spearheaded by the North Devon District Council. This tender involved services related to backup and recovery servers, licences, and associated hardware in the computer equipment and software industry category. The location specified for the delivery of these services is the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process has concluded, with a direct award being granted. Key dates in this procurement included the contract award on the 1st of May 2025, and the contract period spans from the 12th of May 2025 to the 11th of May 2028.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in ICT and software services, as it covers a significant scope in backup and recovery solutions. While the direct award procurement method was utilised, it still highlights the importance of establishing strong relationships and networks within public sector bodies like North Devon District Council. Businesses with existing capabilities in offering comprehensive ICT services, particularly those that can deliver robust backup solutions, might have been well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. This contract, albeit not open to tenders due to the direct award process, exemplifies the potential for growth through close alignment with public sector needs and specifications.
