Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured renewal of NetApp products and associated IT support services from Specialist Compute Centres PLC. The requirement is a software renewal rather than a broad IT transformation project, and falls within IT services covering software and support (CPV 72000000). Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement was made by Leeds City Council, with the supplier based in Birmingham. The available description identifies the NetApp renewal and the supplier, but does not set out particular products, service tasks or technical specifications. Businesses focused on NetApp licensing, renewals and related support are the closest match to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Specialist Compute Centres PLC on 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £72,964.04. The contract runs from 11 November 2026 to 10 November 2028. Leeds City Council placed the call-off through the GCA Tepas2 framework, using a selective procurement route. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £72,964.04. No separate lots are recorded. The evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details. The procurement was categorised as services, and the stated contract term is two years. These details reflect a framework call-off for a defined NetApp renewal, with the named supplier selected for delivery.

For suppliers who did not win, this award is evidence that Leeds City Council buys NetApp renewals and associated support through the GCA Tepas2 framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate strong NetApp product and licensing knowledge, the ability to manage renewals accurately, and the capacity to provide dependable support throughout a multi-year term. Experience delivering software renewals for public-sector customers and working within framework call-off processes would also be relevant. The selected supplier is a large IT supplier, and the council marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates the scale and supplier profile of this particular purchase, rather than a general restriction on the wider market. The commercial fit is strongest for established NetApp resellers and support providers.
