UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Essex Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Fire & Rescue Authority has completed a procurement process for the maintenance and support of on-premise HPE and Nimble servers. This tender process, under the legal basis reference 2023/54, utilised a limited competition procurement method below the threshold. Located in Witham, UK (postal code CM8 3HB), the authority sought quotations to address their annual server maintenance needs. The procurement commenced on 1st February 2026 and concluded with a contract signing, covering a service period from 6th February 2026 to 5th February 2027, with a total valued contract of £45,396. The awarded contract falls under the services category, specifically related to the maintenance and repair of computer equipment as per classification CPV 50312000.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT maintenance and support services, particularly those familiar with HPE and Nimble technologies. As the procurement method was limited tendering, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with agility and competitive offerings are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The successful bidder, ACS Technology Group Ltd, exemplifies a business that can deliver such technical support, indicating the potential for similar firms to engage in public sector contracts by meeting specific technical and regional demands.
