Summary of the contracting process

The Sheffield City Council has undertaken a procurement process for the "CT17 - Office 365 Back up system" to enhance data compliance and security for council servers, including future-proofing against ransomware threats. This procurement process, classified under IT services such as consulting and software development, involved a direct procurement method below the threshold, thus conducted without competition. The contract, valued at £160,523.68, was awarded on 16th January 2026, to CDW, a large-scale supplier in London. The service provision is set to commence on 29th January 2026 and conclude on 28th January 2027, marking the tender's current status as completed and actively serving the public authority, specifically a sub-central government entity located in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering expertise in data backup and protection systems, to align with public sector demands. Although the procurement process was conducted directly and without competition, businesses with a similar service portfolio could benefit from understanding the requirements and standards met by successful suppliers like CDW. Large suppliers well-acquainted with public sector processes and equipped to handle complex IT infrastructure needs could leverage insights from such tenders to identify and pursue future similar opportunities in the public domain.
