Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council has completed the procurement process to decommission its data centre at Sand Martin House, Peterborough, following a transition to cloud-based services. The procurement, identified as DN788351, falls within the services industry category, specifically decommissioning services, and was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The council, located in Peterborough, sought engineers to dismantle and remove equipment from the data centre. The contract was awarded to CDW LIMITED and is set to be carried out across several regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract period commenced on 4th October 2025 and will conclude on 12th December 2025, with the contract notice published on 29th October 2025.

This procurement provides a substantive opportunity for large businesses skilled in decommissioning services to collaborate with public authorities in the UK. Companies with expertise in managing end-to-end data centre decommissioning projects, including dismantling and equipment removal, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Specialising in efficient execution and compliance with public sector standards could enable these businesses to secure similar opportunities in the future, expanding their service offerings and establishing a stronger presence in the public sector procurement landscape.
