Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire has completed a direct procurement process to award a contract for the provision of an MS365 add-on for Veeam and Backup solution licences. The procurement, which falls under the category of software packages and information systems, was finalised on 15th July 2026. The procurement method utilised was a direct award based on the existing Veeam contract, allowing for seamless integration into current systems. The contract period spans from 15th July 2026 to 26th October 2029, and the total value of the award is GBP 220,306.50. The goods were procured for delivery in the UK region of Lincoln (UKF3). This procurement process is classified as part of the public authority's sub-central government operations.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software package solutions, particularly those familiar with enterprise agreements and integrated software extensions. Companies like Phoenix Software Limited, which has won the contract, demonstrate that firms with experience in handling software add-ons and continuity in service provision can be competitive in this sector. Large-scale enterprises, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), or businesses already engaged with similar government contracts may find similar opportunities to expand their offerings, leverage existing contracts, and position themselves advantageously in the public procurement marketplace.
