Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Kingston Upon Hull City Council involves awarding a contract for an on-premise backup solution. Titled "On premise backup," this process is within the 'goods' industry category, specifically focused on backup or recovery software, classified under CPV code 48710000. The contract was awarded through a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition, utilising the CCS Framework RM6098. Softcat PLC, located in Buckinghamshire, was the successful supplier, with the contract commencing on 17th July 2025. The total contract value is £84,000 over four years, including an optional one-year extension. The location for delivery is within the region UKE11, which encompasses Hull. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract actively in place.

This tender presents opportunities for business growth for suppliers specialising in IT solutions, particularly those offering backup and recovery software. Large-scale IT suppliers with a strong presence and capability to directly engage with framework agreements like TePAS 2 will benefit the most from such procurement opportunities. Businesses experienced in direct awards without competition and those adept at showcasing value through market engagement will find similar opportunities rewarding for strategic growth. Kingston Upon Hull City Council, being a regional authority, suggests that firms with experience working with local government entities would be well-suited for future similar opportunities.
