Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has completed the procurement process for the CO0199 IT Disposal contract, focusing on computer-related services. The project aims to secure storage and the disposal of data-bearing items owned by the council. The procurement falls under the services category and was managed through an open procedure. The contract includes secure NCSC and ADISA-approved IT data destruction, resale, and recycling services, along with secure storage for reused IT equipment. The contract, valued at £150,000 and starting in December 2024, will span four years with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. Key industry categories include storage and warehousing services, and computer audit and testing services, with the central delivery location in the UKH3 region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT asset disposal, recycling, and secure data destruction. Firms with expertise in providing NCSC and ADISA-certified services, and capabilities in IT equipment resale and storage, are well-positioned to benefit. The emphasis on quality, social value, climate considerations, and competitive pricing makes it attractive for companies looking to expand their service offerings within public sector contracts. The awarded contract to Vyta Secure Limited, an SME, highlights the council's commitment to engaging smaller enterprises, indicating a favourable landscape for similarly sized firms to thrive in this market.
