Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Norfolk County Council, focuses on offering remote backup services for schools. The planned tender, with a value of £150,000, falls under the ICT services category and aims to support around 150 schools across Norfolk and Suffolk. The council intends to publish a full Opportunity Notice on Contracts Finder, with initial communications scheduled for 25th July 2022, as part of their early notification strategy. This opportunity falls under the planning stage of procurement.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in computer backup solutions. Firms that can demonstrate flexibility in service provision to accommodate the varying needs of schools will be well-positioned to compete. Given the project's focus on educational institutions, companies experienced in working with public sector contracts and providing scalable ICT solutions will have a competitive advantage in this procurement process.
