Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council has completed the procurement process titled "Remote Back-up Licences and Support for Schools," falling under the Software package and information systems category. The project, based in the North West of England (UKD6), was managed through an award procedure without prior publication due to specific technical and continuity requirements, as justified under current regulations. The tender was initiated as a direct award and has been awarded to Redstor Limited (UK), with the contract valued at £34,200 and signed on 1st September 2024. The procurement status is marked as 'complete' with the overall process finished by 4th October 2024.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive data management suites, including remote backup and data archiving services. Companies with expertise in educational technology and data security are well-suited to compete for future similar opportunities, especially those that can meet stringent technical specifications and ensure system continuity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Redstor Limited, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate that niche providers can thrive in highly specialised procurement environments.
