Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a direct award for "Managed IT Services" by LOCAL SPACE, a sub-central government public authority based in London, United Kingdom. The award, made to GIOTECH LIMITED, is valued at £750,000, with a gross amount of £900,000. The procurement method was a direct award, justified due to the technical integration and dependency between the Authority's IT infrastructure and the incumbent supplier's environment. The contract, focusing on services like IT infrastructure support, cyber security management, and strategic advisory, spans from 4th June 2026 to 2nd December 2029. The tender is classified under several computer-related management and support services categories, suitable for delivery across multiple UK regions.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for IT service providers, especially those experienced in managing comprehensive IT infrastructure support and cyber security. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in remote and on-site technical support, network monitoring, and strategic IT advisory services are perfectly poised to compete successfully. The contract’s scope, including potential office relocations and security upgrades, suggests robustness in experience and capacity to handle complex technical integrations and support future IT projects as the Authority plans to re-test the market by 2027/2028. Businesses interested in long-term IT procurement opportunities with public authorities should consider engaging in this process and preparing for upcoming competitive tender opportunities.

Notice Title

Managed IT Services

Notice Description

Provision of a fully managed IT Infrastructure Support and Help Desk service for Local Space. The scope of services encompasses day-to-day remote and on-site technical support for all organisational personnel and endpoints, network monitoring, routine patch management, data backup, and business continuity hosting. The agreement also encompasses dedicated cyber security management, compliance auditing, strategic advisory services for organisational growth, and technical implementation support for contractually mandated capital projects, including a planned corporate office relocation and security infrastructure upgrades.

Procurement Information

Direct award is justified under Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis of single supplier technical reasons arising from the integration and technical dependency of the Authority's core IT infrastructure, identity management and cyber security environment within the incumbent supplier's managed service environment. The Authority considers that a change of provider at this stage would require a complex migration of critical live systems and would create disproportionate technical, operational and cyber security risks, including risks to business continuity, operational stability, service resilience and data integrity. orward Procurement Intent The Authority confirms its intention to undertake a future competitive procurement exercise for managed IT services no later than the 2027/2028 financial year. The future procurement process will be undertaken to: * re-test the market for managed IT service provision; * assess alternative delivery models and suppliers; * ensure ongoing value for money through competition; and * support continued compliance with applicable procurement legislation and transparency requirements.
