Summary of the contracting process

This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically targeting data storage services, and will be implemented at the Gun Wharf location in the United Kingdom. The process reached the award stage and was completed as of 26th August 2025, with an active contract period from 1st August 2025 to 31st March 2027. The procurement method employed was direct, conducted below the threshold without competition, following the legal framework set by the UK's Public Contracts Regulations 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in data storage services and related IT solutions, particularly those capable of providing non-competitive, direct service arrangements. Large-scale service providers such as local councils or established IT infrastructure suppliers may find this contract beneficial due to the specificity of the services required and the steady revenue stream over the contract duration.
