Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council, a sub-central government body in Ilkeston, UK, has recently completed the procurement process for project "EBCT 426 Ransomware Protection". The tender, announced on 8th January 2026 and legally based on UKPGA 2023/54, aimed to enhance cybersecurity through a Ransomware Protection Framework using KCS Managed services. The procurement falls under the goods category and involves software package and information systems (CPV classification 48000000). The procurement was conducted under a framework agreement with reopening competition, culminating in a direct award. The contract, valued at GBP 43,800 with a gross amount of GBP 52,560, was signed on 13th November 2025 and is set to run from 31st January 2026 until 31st January 2029.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses specialising in software package solutions and cybersecurity systems as it opens avenues for partnering with local government bodies. Organisations with expertise in providing comprehensive managed services, especially those with established connections to frameworks like KCS, are well-suited for such tenders. Large-scale suppliers like successful bidder Ricoh UK Limited are typically favoured, but smaller scalable businesses with niche software solutions may also seize similar opportunities to contribute to public sector cybersecurity needs, thereby expanding their client base and bolstering business growth through public sector collaboration.
