Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by the University of Sussex involved the acquiring of a "Dell Data Protection Suite" under the industry category of software package and information systems. The procurement, titled "Dell Data Protection Suite," focused on goods within the UK region and has reached the award stage. This tender was processed using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, a choice justified as the procurement falls outside the directive's scope. The main contract, awarded to MTI Technology Limited, was signed on 10th December 2025 with a value of £145,499.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in software and IT services, to engage in public sector projects. Given that MTI Technology Limited, a large-scale organisation, secured the contract, this indicates potential for entities with established capabilities in data protection solutions to engage similar contracts. Businesses with expertise in IT infrastructure and support services related to data protection and software systems are well-positioned to leverage such procurement opportunities to expand their market reach and enhance their portfolio in collaboration with educational bodies like the University of Sussex.
