UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees procured licensing and support for its SolarWinds network monitoring platform. This is a software and information systems requirement, covering the supply of licences and ongoing support for network monitoring technology. The buying organisation is the Council of the Borough of Kirklees, based in Huddersfield, and the service is delivered for the council in the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to software suppliers, network monitoring platform providers, licensing specialists and managed support businesses with capability in SolarWinds environments. It concerns both the provision of the software licensing and the support needed to maintain and operate the network monitoring platform for the council’s requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Kirklees Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. LOOP1 UK LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 24 March 2026. The award covers one lot. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £67,706.36 excluding VAT and £81,247.63 including VAT. The evaluation basis was therefore the council’s direct procurement decision rather than a competitive tender. The completed contract represents a three-year requirement for SolarWinds network monitoring licences and support, with the selected supplier responsible for fulfilling the software and service requirement.

This award indicates demand from Kirklees Council for specialist SolarWinds network monitoring licensing and support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need direct knowledge of the SolarWinds platform, the ability to supply and manage the relevant software licences, and the technical capability to provide reliable support for a council network monitoring environment. Experience supporting public-sector or similarly structured organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of operational resilience, service continuity, security and formal customer support. Suppliers should also be able to manage licensing arrangements accurately and provide responsive technical assistance throughout a multi-year service relationship. The requirement is most relevant to established software resellers, platform specialists and network management support providers.
