Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has successfully completed a procurement process for "Backup & Recovery for Microsoft 365", focusing on deploying Commvault Cloud backup solutions. The procurement, categorized under goods and specifically involving software package and information systems, was completed directly without competition, falling below the threshold for mandated competitive procedures. The contract, awarded to SYSGROUP PLC, is active from 26th February 2026 to 25th February 2027, with a gross value of £34,651.18. The operations are concentrated around Hemel Hempstead, the UKH23 region, and align with sub-central government public authority classifications.
