Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund has recently concluded an award for the procurement process titled "NetBackUp Platform Subscription," focusing on the provision of a backup solution for legacy data under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems. This selective tender, initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement, was designed to procure a subscription that includes maintenance for the Veritas NetBackup Platform, allowing storage of up to 80TB for 12 months. The contract award date was on 25th April 2025 and the procurement process reached its award stage by 23rd June 2025, with the contract period spanning from 8th May 2025 to 7th May 2026. Services are intended for delivery across various locations, including the Channel Islands, Europe, and within the United Kingdom, emphasising the broad geographical scope of the project.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software and information systems that can handle large-scale data management solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender especially suitable due to the buyer's preference for engaging with these entities. The framework agreement method is advantageous for businesses familiar with delivering robust software solutions within established procurement channels. Bytes Software Services Limited has already successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the scope for large-scale enterprises to participate and thrive in targeted software service provisions. Future tenders in similar categories may offer fertile ground for competitive and innovative companies aiming to expand their footprint in public sector collaborations.
