Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Patch my PC security tool contract was initiated by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, located in England. This specific contract, titled "DA from NHS SBS / 19 / AB / WAB / 9411 (Digital Workplace Solutions) FW," falls under the industry category of software package and information systems. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, which directly awarded the contract to Phoenix Software. The award stage was reached on 24th June 2025, with the contract period set to commence on 30th August 2025 and conclude on 29th August 2028. This service-oriented procurement emphasises enhancing security by ensuring automatic updates and patches for applications across all machines, specifically targeting the North East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software and information systems, particularly those that can provide ongoing security and system maintenance services. While the current contract has been directly awarded, businesses that specialise in creating automated software solutions or offer comprehensive IT support services can position themselves as future competitors or partners for similar opportunities. Given that the direct award was made to a large-scale enterprise, smaller firms might explore forthcoming framework agreements or partnerships with larger prime contractors to leverage their niche offerings within the digital workplace solutions sector.
