Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council, acting as the contracting authority, has completed a procurement process for "Sophos Remote Support", which involves the extension of an existing contract. The contract pertains to the services industry, specifically focusing on computer-related services and software packages. Based in Ilkeston, United Kingdom, the Council executed this procurement through a direct method, classified as below threshold and without competition, due to a special regime provision known as "lightTouch". The contract, valued at £94,545.60 gross, was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited and spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, with the signing occurring on 20th March 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in networking software, database systems, miscellaneous software packages, and computer-related services. It is particularly advantageous for established companies with a strong presence in software development and support services. Firms capable of delivering high-quality remote support services aligned with Sophos's offerings are well-positioned to benefit. As Phoenix Software Limited—a large-scale firm—has secured the contract, competitors with similar capabilities and resources may consider positioning themselves for future procurement opportunities with Erewash Borough Council or similar public authorities.
