Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured a Mimecast email filtering service. The requirement is for email security filtering, with the procurement classified as a service and associated with system maintenance (CPV 50324100). The buyer is based in Stafford, and the stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom as well as Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Softcat Ltd. The award was made on 15 June 2026, following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The award value is £28,927.05. The contract period runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate. No specific evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from Staffordshire’s police and fire commissioner for a Mimecast email filtering service, with delivery coverage extending beyond the UK. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and support email security filtering within a framework call-off arrangement. The selected supplier was a large business, while the requirement was also marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller and mission-led providers were considered potential participants. Suppliers with relevant email security expertise, dependable service capacity and the ability to support a geographically broad user base would be well placed to compete if this requirement returns to market.
