The procurement stage has reached completion, with an active award made on 3rd September 2025 to the supplier, Softcat. The contract, valued at £90,000, is set to commence on 30th September 2025 and conclude on 1st October 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the ICT sector, especially those focusing on developing and integrating comprehensive software and systems for infrastructure monitoring and data analysis.
