Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured a backup software solution, including implementation services and ongoing support. The requirement is primarily for software and information systems, covering the supply, deployment and continued support of technology used for data backup and recovery. The buying organisation is Orbit Group Limited, based in Coventry. Delivery is associated with the Coventry area. The requirement is a goods procurement with associated implementation and support services, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide enterprise backup software together with the technical capability to implement it and support the solution throughout its operating life. The procurement was made through a software products and associated services framework, indicating that the buyer was seeking a framework-qualified provider for this technology requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Framework. Bids closed on 1 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on 15 July 2026 to Phoenix Software Ltd. The awarded value is £703,678. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Phoenix Software Ltd is the active awarded supplier. The award covers the backup software solution, implementation services and ongoing support for Orbit Group Limited. The process was run as a framework call-off rather than an open competition, so participation was through the relevant framework route. The published procurement category is goods, covering software and information systems.

This award demonstrates established demand from Orbit Group Limited for a substantial, multi-year backup technology solution supported by implementation and ongoing service capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need enterprise-grade backup and recovery software, experienced technical teams able to plan and deliver implementation, and the capacity to provide dependable support after deployment. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete software lifecycle rather than offer licences alone, including technical integration, configuration, service continuity and customer support. The framework call-off route also shows the importance of holding the relevant framework position or partnering with an eligible framework supplier. Larger established technology providers are likely to be well placed, given the scale and combined software, implementation and support requirements.
