Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Primary Data Centre Support and Maintenance" contract. This contract, identified by the title "Primary Data Centre Support and Maintenance" and classified under the IT services category, required 12 months of support and maintenance for the council's primary data centre. The procurement was conducted via a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of certain directives, and was completed under the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at £34,456.75, was signed on 28th April 2025, with European Electronique being awarded the contract. The project is based in the UKD region, with specific delivery within Rochdale.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for companies involved in IT services, especially those offering consulting, software development, and internet support. Businesses with expertise in technical support and maintenance of data centres are well-suited to compete in such procurements in the future. Although this specific contract was awarded directly, similar upcoming opportunities could benefit mid-sized enterprises looking to establish or expand their regional footprint within the IT services sector. Networking with local councils and being involved in framework agreements like the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions could be advantageous for businesses aiming to capture similar contracts.
