Summary of the contracting process

Luminate Education Group, based in Leeds, England, has completed a procurement process for "Project E (FE Veeam Backup - Renewal & Support)". This involves acquiring continued licensing and support for its Veeam Backup system. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" (CPV code 48000000) and was conducted through a selective call-off from the CPC Framework - Software Licence Resellers Agreement, specifically Lot 4. The tendering process concluded on 3rd December 2025, with the contract awarded on 9th December 2025 to Softcat PLC for the amount of £37,584.96. The contract period is from 26th December 2025 to 25th December 2026.

This tender represents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in software package services, particularly those experienced with backing up and support solutions like Veeam. The procurement process, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, favours organisations already qualified under such frameworks. While this specific award went to the large-scale supplier Softcat PLC, businesses that can offer competitive support and renewal services under similar frameworks can find similar future tenders advantageous for growth and expansion, especially those based in or near Leeds to potentially enhance logistical coordination and service efficiency.
