Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council has recently completed a public procurement process titled "Wasabi Cloud Storage Renewal," aimed at securing software to ensure data backups adhere to NCSC recommendations for cyber attack recovery. The procurement involved a direct method below the competition threshold, resulting in an active contract awarded to COOLSPIRIT LIMITED. The process entailed the provision of compliance software packages primarily for locations in Dartford, UK, with contracts expected to commence on 25th November 2025 and run through to 14th September 2028. The legal basis for this procurement lies in the UKPGA 2023/54 statute.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions that enhance data security and compliance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in delivering cloud storage and data protection services would find this opportunity particularly aligned with their offerings. The nature of the procurement process, being direct and below threshold, indicates potential ease of access for suitably qualified companies. Engaging in such contracts can promote growth through the provision of essential digital infrastructure services to public sector clients.
