Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive procured support and maintenance for its Rubrik Briks data-backup hardware. The requirement covers reactive hardware support and maintenance for the equipment listed in the tender documents, delivered on a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year basis. This is a data-backup and recovery support service, classified under CPV 48710000. The service covers the Health & Safety Executive’s operations across England, Scotland and Wales. The procurement is for services rather than the supply of new hardware or software, and is intended to maintain the availability and operational performance of the buyer’s existing Rubrik infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 March 2026 to Computacenter (UK) Limited. The awarded value is £597,309.24. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender deadline was 25 March 2026 at 12:00 noon. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The planned arrangement was an initial 24-month contract with two possible further 12-month extensions, although the recorded contract period runs for three years. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and a redacted signed contract is recorded.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers with proven Rubrik Briks hardware support capability, experience of data-backup infrastructure and the operational capacity to provide reactive assistance continuously across England, Scotland and Wales. Credible competitors would need robust 24-hour service-desk and engineering arrangements, rapid fault response, access to replacement hardware or authorised maintenance channels, and the ability to support a geographically distributed public-sector estate. Experience maintaining business-critical backup systems would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would clear service management, escalation and resilience arrangements. The procurement also indicates that the Health & Safety Executive uses a framework call-off route for this type of specialist support, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to operate through an appropriate framework.
