Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Security Awareness Training Platform (Mimecast Engage)" was conducted by Peterborough City Council, a public authority within the sub-central government category. This procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems. The complete procurement employed a direct method, below the threshold without competition, and has now reached the award stage. The contract is effective from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. Although the procurement process primarily focuses on the delivery within multiple regions across the United Kingdom, the primary office of the buying organisation is located in Spalding, United Kingdom.

This tender opens numerous avenues for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, particularly those that can provide security awareness training platforms. Given the procurement method, this contract is suited for organisations that can deliver customised solutions without the need for competitive bidding. While CDW LIMITED, a large-scale enterprise, was awarded the contract, similar businesses focusing on innovative training solutions could see opportunities in future collaborative or successive projects. By engaging with local governments, companies can expand their portfolio and build a reputation within the public sector.
