Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Police has completed a public procurement process for the renewal of the F5 Software License under the project titled "F5 License Renewal". This procurement falls under the "Networking, Internet and intranet software package" industry category and is classified as a purchase of goods. The procurement process was conducted under the HealthTrustEurope (HTE) ComIT3 framework with a direct award due to the nature of the incumbent system, necessitating renewal through the vendor-specific license. The project is based in the UKE3 region, primarily Sheffield. Key events include the contract award date of 15th August 2024 with Insight Direct (UK) Ltd as the supplier.

This procurement presents businesses with opportunities to engage in long-term relationships with regional authorities like South Yorkshire Police. Companies specialising in network software solutions and vendor-specific license support, such as those related to F5 BIG-IP networks, would be well-suited for similar tender opportunities. The direct award method suggests that specialised businesses with existing frameworks or vendor relationships are well-positioned to secure contracts with clear justifications for single-source procurement, promoting business growth in a highly focused niche market.
