Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has awarded a contract titled "003688 - Redstor Data Management Renewal" for renewing the existing data management services, focusing on backup or recovery software packages and computer backup services. This procurement falls under the services category and has been completed using a direct procurement method, specifically chosen as a below-threshold procurement without competition. The contract, valued at £62,850, is effective from 1 October 2026 and will run until 30 September 2027. The procurement is part of a commercial service level agreement offered by the council, and its related activities will be based in the United Kingdom.
