Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting for itself and the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, procured Dell PowerScale (Isilon) H7000 computer equipment and supplies. The requirement formed part of a wider need for IT hardware, networking and security equipment, and commercial off-the-shelf software. Delivery is for Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods procurement focused on enterprise-scale data storage infrastructure rather than consultancy, managed services or general IT support. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of Dell PowerScale systems, associated storage hardware and infrastructure equipment, and technology resellers able to support public-sector buyers across the Yorkshire and Humber area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective further competition, using a call-off from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority framework for IT hardware, networking and security equipment and commercial off-the-shelf software. Bids closed on 7 July 2025 at 13:00. The contract was awarded to SOFTCAT PLC on 30 July 2025 for £363,636.37 including the published contract value currency of GBP. The contract runs from 30 July 2025 to 29 July 2030. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and relates to the complete tender.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for Dell PowerScale (Isilon) H7000 enterprise storage equipment in Yorkshire and the Humber, procured through a framework further competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong capability in supplying and supporting Dell storage infrastructure, with access to the relevant equipment and the capacity to deliver an enterprise hardware order of this scale. Experience of framework call-offs and further competitions would be important, as would the ability to meet public-sector procurement, delivery and contract-management requirements. The selected supplier was a large technology business, indicating that scale, supply-chain reach and the ability to handle complex infrastructure orders are relevant competitive characteristics.
